Abstract

Justin Hall’s conversation with Hillary Chute describes the evolution of his 2012 anthology No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics out of the world’s first museum show of LGBTQ+ comics held at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco in 2006, including its inspiration for a feature-length documentary, directed and produced by Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated filmmaker Vivian Kleiman. Cultivating and catalyzing the field of queer comics, Hall stands out as much for his own creations as for celebrating and drawing attention to other queer artists’ achievements, demonstrating the value of extended family-building and the satisfaction and ongoing discovery of LGBTQ+ recognition as core features of queer life.
