Dykes to Watch Out for: The Sequel

Alison Bechdel’s long-running, groundbreaking newspaper strip continues its sharp, witty chronicle of a circle of lesbian friends and their extended community in this 1992 collection from Firebrand Books. The first of many sequels, this volume gathers early installments of the series that became a cultural touchstone for its candid, humorous, and politically engaged portrayal of queer life. Bechdel’s distinctive, detail-rich cartooning and keen social observation make this an essential document of its era and a foundational work of LGBTQ+ comics.
