Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC)

Queer Brunch

Join host Justin Hall and 2024 CXC special guest foundational queer comics icon Rupert Kinnard for brunch at the Columbus Museum of Art where LGBTQIA+ comic artists and enthusiasts will have a space to meet, eat and enjoy each other’s company.

Rupert Kinnard is the creator of the Brown Bomber — a teenage, Black, gay, fairy, superhero — who made his publication debut in the Cornell College newspaper, The Cornellian, in 1977. He’s received too many awards to count—including multiple Gay Press Association awards as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Arts Foundation.

Queer Brunch host Justin Hall is a San Francisco-based cartoonist and the editor of the Anthology No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics and producer of the subsequent documentary No Straight Lines: Rise of Queer Comics.

Whether you’re curious about the history, future, or present state of queer comics or just want to discuss comics-craft and personal experiences about being a queer artist, this event was made for you.
