Come Out Comix

Self-published in 1973 by Mary Wings, Come Out Comix is a landmark of underground comics and a foundational work of queer comics history. This single issue broke new ground as the first known comic by an openly lesbian creator, using the raw, DIY energy of the counterculture to explore themes of identity, community, and liberation. Wings’s bold, expressive artwork and unfiltered storytelling gave voice to a community rarely seen in comics at the time, making Come Out Comix a vital, defiant artifact of its era.
