And with every town, there has to be a gay one.
In 1993, gay comic fans rejoiced when Lawrence Poirier came out to his friend Michael. The first official issue in 1972 featured a lesbian coming out story – a bold move for the time. They are lightweight and don’t require Wi-Fi. Not only does it feature a fast-paced story, but the ensemble of characters is highly entertaining.
And when they do take on their true persona, they are an unstoppable force capable of saving the world! But rather, a focus on friendship and how important the community is for LGBTQ people. It also features a lesbian couple, Tara and Darcy, who alongside Charlie, help Nick come to terms with his sexuality.
It began as nothing more than a side project by creator, Alice Oseman, who shared it for free on her Tumblr page.
It’s quite rare to find a gay comic or a manga that represents gay men in their 50s, especially in parts of the world like Japan where homosexuality isn’t as widely accepted, and this is why we rate it as one of the best gay webcomics.

We are an art space for all types of queer art.
Each character may have his distinct personality and dress sense but they are there for one another when times get tough.
8. Tom of Finland
Tom of Finland, (born Touko Valio Laaksonen), rose to prominence in the 1970s with the rise of gay subcultures. The Chosen Family
RuPaul famously said that as gay people we get to choose our families – and that’s the exact sentiment that The Chosen Family gives off.
Having started as a pet project in a university newspaper, the comic strip used satirical humor to bring attention to the issues faced by the LGBTQ community.
Noticing how gay people were viewed as subhuman by a vast amount of the public, Cruse believed such a series could show society the humanity of the LGBTQ community.
Calls for submissions were put out throughout its run, encouraging queer people to share their stories.
And whilst some conservative folks have taken issue with the book’s content (when don’t they ever?!), it is a super informative way for people to learn about gender outside of the binary.
Gender Queer also touches on what it means to be asexual, another sexual identity that is rarely covered in LGBTQ media.

It originally ran from 1987 to 1997, before making a resurgence in 2002, 2006, and “retiring” in 2020. She goes to work at her dad’s mechanic shop. When he steps outside, he discovers that robots now live alongside humans. At first, they each come off as walking stereotypes, but over time, the story evolves to show how they are much more than that.
It's full of sharp wit, hilarious antics…and best of all, the characters are dressed in the best (and by that we mean cringy!) 90s fashion.

Nevertheless, this stunning gay webcomic follows the relationship between Sam, a rich banker from America, and Philip, a German art critic during the final years of the Weimar Republic.

In an interview with Pride, artist Tim Fish and author Gregory Lockard said that they want readers to draw a comparison between 1930s Berlin and the current social climate.
Liebestrasse was created to offer a balance of escapism to readers, as well as warning them that social progress isn’t always as secure as we’d like it to be: LGBTQ folk must continuously fight for their rights to be protected!

They are described as being a “ragtag band of space gays” (which is what we call our Close Friends list on Instagram), and each brings so much to the story.
5. There’s the drag king and sex-positive Lois, the English professor Ginger, and environmentalist Clarice – most of whom work in or frequent the city’s many feminist bookshops.
The series sadly went on hiatus in 2008 and hasn’t made a permanent comeback.
