Dates! An Anthology of Queer Historical Fiction Stories by Cat Parra, Zora Gilbert
4.0
Decent collection of short (< 6 pages) comics with LGBTQ characters throughout history. I do wish some of the stories were longer rather than just getting a small taste of the characters. It was hard to get too invested because I only got little snippets that didn’t feel like complete stories.
All in all, very relevant to my interests of LGBT historical fiction and there were some really beautiful comics in here!
Favorites:
- Farewell (Ancient Greek, wlw)
- Mór Ríoghain (500s Ireland, trans woman mc)
- Cast Off (1700s(?), trans man mc)
- Marie by the Sea (early 1800s/Regency, wlw)
- Lulu and Diana (1910s USA, black wlw)
- Emes (early 1900s, Jewish trans man mc)
- Freedom of Expression (1950s Russia, wlw)
