Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Graphic Novel is an annual literary award, presented by the Lambda Literary Foundation, to a graphic novel with LGBT themes. As the award is presented based on themes in the work, not the sexuality or gender of the writer, non-LGBT individuals may be nominated for or win the award.

The award is presented to "[b]ook-length works of fiction or non-fiction that use a combination of words and sequential art to convey a narrative ..., including novels, graphic memoirs and short story or comics collections by the same author/team."[1]

Lambda Literary is one of few organizations that has recognized comics and graphic novels since the 1980s.[2] From 2014 to 2019, the award was named the Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Graphic Novel but in 2020, it changed to the Lambda Literary Award for Comics.
