Ace of Hearts

Welcome to Hell

In October of 2023, Palestinian cartoonist Mohammad Sabaaneh was on an international book tour to promote his latest graphic novel. This autobiographical account chronicles his return to Gaza that month and his life since then on the West Bank — while also sharing the story of his brother, who was locked in an Israeli detention center.

Punk Like Me

by JD Glass and Kris Dresen
Purchase: Amazon – Bookshop

This queer coming-of-age graphic novel immerses you in all the ways being a queer teen sucks — family who doesn’t understand, crushes who turn out to be straight, and never knowing if it’s okay to be queer while the world around you is straight straight straight. This historical fiction bildungsroman is so evocative of queer life in the 1980s!
