Reclaiming Diverse LGBTQ+ Comics Histories
Gay Comix (1980–98) is well known as an important comics series that brought together just over one hundred LGBTQ+ creators over the course of its twenty-six issues and nearly two decades.

Through an analysis of this series and its status in archives, this essay examines how archival practic…
