A terrific convergence of talent is playwright Lisa Kron and composer Jeanine Tesori adapting Alison Bechdel’s critically lauded graphic novel Fun Home as a stage musical via the Sundance Institute Theater Program. Bechdel created a spot-on microcosm of lesbian life, politics, love and pop culture with her long-running comic strip “Dykes to Watch Out For” from 1983 – 2008, and while that strip was certainly semi-autobiographical, her graphic novel Fun Home focused on her upbringing in her home that housed the Bechdel Funeral Home and on her relationship with her father.

I am pretty sure I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love a good story about a hot, smart and strong tattooed bisexual chick that kicks ass and doesn’t give up. The Millennium Trilogy books, also known as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo books, by Stieg Larsson are continually on every bestseller list around the world, the Swedish versions of the films are amazing (if you haven’t seen them, cue up your Netflix right now), and David Fincher’s American film remakes are sure to be a smashing success. Now, for those of you not keen on reading books without pictures, subtitles or watching movies, DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint has secured the worldwide rights to adapt Lisbeth Salander’s adventures into graphic novels.

The acclaimed Scottish writer Denise Mina will pen graphic novels based on Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and its two sequels.

Fun Home, the musical based on the award-winning graphic novel by out author Alison Bechdel, lands 12 nominations.

In the tradition of illustrated memoirs like Fun Home, Portland-based queer illustrator Nicole Georges's first full-length graphic novel, Calling Dr. Laura, takes readers down a page-turning rabbit hole of familial deception, secret histories, and half-truths. But don't let that scare you off.

On June 3rd, the New York Public Library hosted an LGBT "Anti-Prom: Super Prom" on June 3 at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building in Astor Hall. For added festive fun, guest were invited to dress as their favorite superheros from comics and graphic novels, inspiring some sick tributes to Aeon Flux and Paris is Burning.
