No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics by Justin Hall

4.0

This anthology is a fascinating insight into queer culture, romance and politics. Many of the comics are hilarious but plenty are also moving, either because they deal with emotionally difficult subjects or because they are unashamedly celebratory. Although an effort was made to include stories by and about people of all genders, my only criticisms are that it felt as if there were more comics centred around cis gay men and that the section on trans comics actually had very few examples of trans experience. Saying that I would still highly recommend this to anyone interested in LGBTQ+ history and/or comics history - the book is so large there is much to be discovered.
