YA
High school junior Adrian's a self-loathing closeted teen stuck in small-town Texas. His only reprieve from the world of football and beer is drawing his anonymously published webcomic about an openly gay superhero, Graphite. (Episodes of the comic, illustrated by Linn, are interspersed throughout.) Despite Adrian's bitter and sardonic narration, this is a story of love triumphing over hate and art defeating bigotry.
