Gay Mormon Dad

Reviews / Votes

"An illuminating, exhilarating graphic memoir, Gay Mormon Dad is about escaping from a stifling, closeted life to achieve fulfillment and independence."

-Peter Dabbene Foreword Reviews "The hard-won insights here will resonate for fans of queer memoir-and any reader who has faced major life transformations."

-Publishers Weekly "Anderson's exploration of his journey is insightful, earnest and heartbreaking, with a unique knack for pacing that expertly weaves between flashbacks and present day."

-Comic Book Herald "This book might just be the eye-opener someone needs, whether they be closeted or whether they're someone who needs to loosen their thinking around someone else's identity."

-Colin Moon AIPT Comics "In a time when the systems and structures we've been taught will save us are doing nothing but failing us, Gay Mormon Dad reminds us that we have to fight for and build the safety and love we deserve but that it's possible."

-Phillip Sevy, author of Venom, X-Men, and Deadpool "Gay Mormon Dad is deeply personal and instantly engrossing-a story of family, and not just one's connection to it, but the need to define it on your own terms. But this isn't about closing the door on the past to be who you are, it's about refitting what we think we understand into the life we know we need without question. It's about the rich, often conflicting complexities of love. As the pages say, 'the world is complicated, but life is good.' This book is a journey-not a direct path, a winding one towards embracing who we are. And even if the details change, that journey's universal-so get on the path."

-Steve Orlando, author of Wonder Woman, Astonishing Iceman, Feeding Dangerously, and more "Raw, unfiltered, powerful, and gripping, Chad Anderson's graphic memoir-masterfully illustrated by Remy Burke-stands up there with some of the best in the category. By the last page, you'll feel connected to Chad's trauma and perseverance. And most importantly, you'll have made a new friend through the power of story. I couldn't put this down."

-Alex Segura, New York Times-bestselling author of Secret Identity, Alter Ego, Star Wars, and more "A deeply honest, heartfelt, and extremely creative look at one man's journey to find his authentic self."

-J.M. DeMatteis, author of Spider-Man, Moonshadow, The DeMultiverse, and more
