From the artist behind the hit A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns- Archie Bongiovanni- an examination of the intersection of fame- identity- and sexuality in their latest audacious and genuine LGBTQIA+ graphic novel- Leo Rising Lesbian influencer. Lifelong Alaskan. Part-time owl researcher. Leo Rising follows self-proclaimed “celesbian” Laura on a hilarious and heart-wrenching exploration of queer spaces- sexuality- and fame. After years of struggling for acceptance- Laura knows exactly who she is—or does she? By day- Laura thrives as the Internet’s lesbian bestie- a role model for thousands of followers worldwide- while working part-time at the Alaska Bird Observatory. But when an old friend returns to town and introduces Laura to queer parties and sex apps she’s never experienced- she starts questioning her gender and sexuality simultaneously. Seeking answers- Laura creates Leo- a secret trans identity. As Leo’s encounters become more and more steamy- Laura’s divergent identities collapse with real-world consequences. Perfect for readers who loved the classic Dykes to Watch Out For- Genderqueer- and Bongiovanni’s debut graphic novel Mimosa- Leo Rising is a horny and hopelessly real comic about navigating queer space- both online and off- under the midnight sun.
