b. b. free #1 by Gabby Rivera, Royal Dunlap

4.0

"Alright, everybody, if you’re looking for a comic series that celebrates LGBT children and everything they can give to this world, you’ve got to check out b. b. free #1. Enter b.b.: she’s just a fifteen-year-old girl who desperately wants to be free—free to be who and what she is, without any shame. Or without being told to “be a good girl”. All b.b. really wants to do is be able to travel the country—as broken as it is—and broadcast her free radio station, one that is as cheerful and free as she someday wants to be. But there are forces in her life that refuse to ever let that happen.

This series takes all of society’s expectations of young ladies and brings that discussion to the forefront. All the pressure it brings with it, and how dehumanizing it can feel when repeatedly told to be something you feel like you’re not."
