Published during the Queer Zine Explosion of the early 1990s, Homozone5 was the first comic book featuring drag queens and trans-femme superheroes. Set in a dystopian future where a right wing Christian fascist government has turned San Francisco into an open air prison for queer people. 5 queens are endowed by the Goddess with super powers to fight against their oppressors and liberate the Homozone. Inspired by X-men comics and 1980s dystopian graphic novels, the three issue series told the tale of the downfall of American democracy through foreign wars, covert operations and false flag events designed to scapegoat the LGBT community and smear queer liberation activists as dangerous terrorists.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
This groundbreaking work is more relevant than ever in 2026 when the rights and lives of queer and trans people are under constant attack from theocratic authoritarianism.
