The DC Book of Pride: A Celebration of DC's LGBTQIA+ Characters by D.K. Publishing, Jadzia Axelrod
My Rating: ★★★★★
If you’re looking for a LGBTQIA+ characters of DC glossary of sorts, this is the book for you! Inside, you will find just under 60 characters from all across DC. The author mentions that there are actually hundreds of characters who are LGBTQIA+, but this is just a selection of the characters. This is not meant to be a complete list, but they do want this to be thought of as a celebration of sorts that encourages people to check out all the characters!
It’s a very easy read with every character having two pages dedicated to them. Why two pages? Well, one page is stunning artwork of the character while the other page is dedicated to their bio and data file. I like that if a character is new to a reader, a quick glance at the data file tells one which comic series (and volume number when applicable) we can find them in! It’s also fun to see the character’s likes and dislikes after we learn about them through their bio.
All in all, this is a great book dedicated to showcasing just under 60 LGBTQIA+ DC characters. The artwork of each character is absolutely stunning, and we can learn all about each character as well as which series and volume we can see them first appear in. While it’s a quick read, it’s a good one at that.
