Look, I know the internet is far from perfect. It has a lot of shortcomings. It’s fundamentally changed how we relate to each other, in ways that are both great and not so great. Webcomics are one of the great ways. The internet has created space for so many comics creators, especially queer and BIPOC creators, to tell so many wonderful and important stories. Many of the webcomics on this list have since been picked up by publishers and made into books — and that’s because these artists found a way to put their work into the world, and readers responded to it. If that’s not an example of the internet as a powerful force of connection and creativity, I don’t know what is. So, rather than get all teary about how amazing it is that there are literally thousands of webcomics by and about queer people of all genders, races, religions, sexualities, and abilities — let’s just get to the list, shall we? If you’re new to the world of queer webcomics, welcome! There is so much to discover. If you’ve been reading them for years, I hope you find some hidden gems here you may have missed. So many of these comics have brought me joy and comfort and magic when I needed it most, and I can only hope that these artists — and the hundreds not mentioned here — will keep on using the internet to tell queer stories of every kind forever.

Happily, this list of 20 is just the beginning when it comes to queer webcomics! You’ll find lots more on this list, and this one, too! And if you don’t already know about it, I highly recommend checking out the Queer Comics Database. It includes print comics as well as webcomics, and you can search using tons of specific tags. It’s an invaluable resource for queer comics fans.
