Women have been making history in comics for decades, and their impact is only getting stronger. In celebration of Women's History Month, we will have a series of features this week. Earlier this month, we asked women in comics to share their GlobalComix links in a tweet. Uplifting creator voices is important to us, so we've got a list of comics with LGBTQ+ themes written by women. It's more important than ever to share these themes with the world, and we are sure you'll enjoy them.
