Come hear talented people read wonderful books for a great cause. Bring the whole family for storytime at SHQ!

Please join us in welcoming Maia Kobabe (and colorist Phoebe Kobabe) for a discussion and signing of eir memoir, Gender Queer!

Let us know you’re coming!

Maia’s intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears.

Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere. – Lion Forge

Stayed tuned for details!

Excited to have the dream team of Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, and Jacob Phillips here on Wednesday, May 15th! We’ll have plenty of books on hand to get signed, come and shake the hands of the masters of crime!

It’s that time again! Join us Saturday, May 4th for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!
