22 cm. -- (Microcosm ; no. 730) -- Summary (from publisher):
"A graphic biography told in the form of a reverential letter,
we take a look at how outsider artist Forrest Bess painted a
future that no one could yet dream of in the 1920s. While
largely unexplored outside of their art, Bess conceptualized
important, early ideas around gender, such as genital
autosurgery, homosexuality, and gender as more than a
pre-determined binary. These largely overlooked and
misunderstood aspects of the artist's life are lovingly
examined in this comic honoring an important queer icon." --
Biographical genre, about transgender artists and gender
