[Link added: 12/18/02]
Founded in 1996, the queercomix mailing list has been a discussion area and "safe space" on the Internet for talk about queer issues in comic books. Anything directly relating to queer concerns in comic books and the comics industry is appropriate for discussion, including in-story and personnel issues. Queer characters, creators, storylines and themes, and even queer-phobic creators, publishers, and/or comic book stories are all discussed regularly by the members. The queercomix list is not a general-purpose "home base" for queer fans to discuss anything comics related (or even unrelated)�it has a narrower focus, and off-topic discussions are not encouraged. To subscribe send an e-mail to queercomix-subscribe@groups.queernet.org.

It has recently begun its thirteenth year of continuous publication. The APA has discussions on comics of all genres, how they relate to queer people, and the varied lifestyles we live.

Amateurs and professionals have interacted over the years, sending in their individual 'zine sections which may have art, cartoons, stories or personal discussion to the Central Mailer who collates the sections and sends the completed magazine to each member.

"Boy Meets Boy" beat out a host of hetero comics to win the WCC Award for "Outstanding Romantic Comic."

IMITATION OF LIFE  
[Link added: 8/14/03]
Neil B.'s journal comic, "Imitation of Life," provides an intimate look at his struggles with law school, depression and being gay and Indian-American.

"It was a big decision for me to come out in the comic, because doing so meant coming out to a lot of friends in real life who didn't know that I'm gay," says Neil, who still does not put his full name on the site. "But soon it become inexorably true to me that I couldn't be sincere about anything without coming out."

VENUS ENVY  
[Link added: 8/14/03]
Erin Lindsey says her webcomic Venus Envy is basically her way of:

A) Filling a major gap in the online comic community (I mean, let's face it, you've got three dozen comics about lesbians, a hundred and four about clumsy white males, six about talking ferrets, and eight with dead people, but only two other TS comics that I've managed to find), and

B) Working through a lot of the stress and insanity that comes from my life. In a sense, I guess this is therapy (and a lot cheaper, too). I have it up here, online, to try and make people laugh as well as show some people that a transsexual man or woman is no different from any other man and woman and try and make the concept a little less alien to all.
