From the very first homoerotic drawings to pornographic comics, from political underground to literary mainstream – gay comics have come a long way.
Markus Pfalzgraf, a journalist and author of the book “Stripped – A Story of Gay Comics”, looks back at the different variations of gay comics. It is the first overview of this kind in a book. There are opulent pictures: excerpts from comics, and even some complete stories, some of which are published for the first time in book form.
In his richly illustrated lecture Markus Pfalzgraf draws a big arc over the history of homosexuality in comics, and we also learn which gay and lesbian heroes have made it onto a film screen.

This lecture is held in German only.
