The '''GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book''' is an annual award that honors [[comic books]] for excellence in the depiction of [[LGBT]] ([[lesbian]], [[gay]], [[bisexual]], and [[transgender]]) [[LGBT themes in comics|characters and themes]]. It is one of several categories of the annual [[GLAAD Media Award]]s, presented by [[GLAAD]]—an American [[non-governmental organization|non-governmental]] [[media monitoring]] organization—at ceremonies in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco between March and June.<ref>{{cite web |title=GLAAD Media Awards Selection Process |date=September 10, 2011 |url=https://www.glaad.org/mediaawards/22/selections |publisher=[[GLAAD]] |access-date=August 17, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180817110705/https://www.glaad.org/mediaawards/22/selections |archive-date=August 17, 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The award was introduced in 1992 as a non-competitive category at the 3rd GLAAD Media Awards. The first honoree was the [[The Flash (comic book)#Volume 2 (1987–2006, 2007–2008)|second volume]] of ''[[The Flash (comic book)|The Flash]]'', an ongoing comic book series published by [[DC Comics]] and written by [[William Messner-Loebs]]. No award was given from 1993 through 1995, but one comic has been recognized every year since 1996. Outstanding Comic Book became a competitive category in 1997.<ref name = "1997 Death"/> While the award initially encompassed all types of [[comics]]—such as comic books, [[comic strip]]s, and [[graphic novel]]s—GLAAD split the category into two starting with the [[33rd GLAAD Media Awards|33rd ceremony in 2022]]; Outstanding Comic Book and '''[[GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Graphic Novel/Anthology|Outstanding Original Graphic Novel/Anthology]]'''.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Johnston |first1=Rich |author1-link=Rich Johnston |title=Comics Outstanding Nominations Announced For GLAAD Awards 2022 |url=https://bleedingcool.com/comics/comic-book-outstanding-nominations-announced-for-glaad-awards-2022/ |website=[[Bleeding Cool]] |publisher=[[Avatar Press]] |access-date=March 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127201516/https://bleedingcool.com/comics/comic-book-outstanding-nominations-announced-for-glaad-awards-2022/ |archive-date=January 27, 2022 |date=January 19, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref>

For a comic to be eligible, it must be targeted at a general audience and be sold nationwide in comic retail stores.<ref>{{cite web |title=Award Category Definitions and Eligibility Rules |url=http://www.glaad.org/events/mediaawards/categories.php |publisher=[[GLAAD]] |access-date=March 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030320031031/http://www.glaad.org/events/mediaawards/categories.php |archive-date=March 20, 2003 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Furthermore, it must be published by one of the United States' four [[LGBT themes in American mainstream comics|mainstream comic book publishers]]—[[Dark Horse Comics]], DC Comics, [[Image Comics]], or [[Marvel Comics]]—or their subsidiaries.<ref name="20th GLAADs Categories">{{cite web |title=20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards - Award Category Definitions and Eligibility Rules |date=22 September 2011 |url=https://www.glaad.org/mediaawards/20/categories |publisher=[[GLAAD]] |access-date=March 2, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220302192333/https://www.glaad.org/mediaawards/20/categories |archive-date=March 2, 2022 |url-status=live}}</ref> A title from another publisher is eligible at GLAAD's discretion if it manages to attain a degree of visibility and impact similar to that of one of the four mainstream publishers.<ref name="20th GLAADs Categories"/>

Comic books selected by GLAAD are evaluated based on four criteria: "Fair, Accurate, and Inclusive Representations" of the LGBT community, "Boldness and Originality" of the project, significant "Impact" on mainstream culture, and "Overall Quality" of the project.<ref name = "Nominees"/> GLAAD monitors mainstream media to identify which comic books will be nominated, while also issuing a Call for Entries that encourages media outlets to submit titles for consideration. Comics created by and for an LGBT audience must be submitted in order to be considered for nomination, as GLAAD does not monitor such works for defamation.<ref name = "Nominees"/> Winners are determined by a plurality vote by GLAAD staff and board, Shareholders Circle members,{{efn|The Shareholders Circle consists of donors who have made a donation of $1,500 or more.<ref>{{cite web |title=Become a Member.

Since its inception, the award has been given to 27 comics. ''[[Green Lantern (comic book)|Green Lantern]]'', ''[[Young Avengers]]'', ''[[Strangers in Paradise]]'', and ''[[Star Wars: Doctor Aphra]]'' are the only comics to have received the award twice, with only ''Green Lantern'' achieving consecutive wins; in 2002 and 2003. [[Judd Winick]] is the writer with the most wins, having been nominated four times and winning three; two for ''Green Lantern''. ''Strangers in Paradise'' also has the distinction of being the most-nominated comic, having been nominated 7 times. With nine nominations and one win, [[James Tynion IV]]  has been nominated more often than any other writer. With four nominations, ''[[The Authority (comics)|The Authority]]'' is the comic that has been nominated the most often without a win; with six nominations, [[Brian K. Vaughan]] is the most-nominated writer without a win.

Since the mid-2000s the award has received some criticism for its emphasis on mainstream comics—including its exclusion of non-mainstream comics, [[webcomics]], and [[manga]]—as well as failing to recognize comic book artists alongside writers in nominations, though artists were eventually honored alonsdige writers as of the [[34th GLAAD Media Awards]]. At the [[35th GLAAD Media Awards]] in 2024, the award was given to the ongoing series ''[[Doctor Aphra#Doctor Aphra (2020–present)|Star Wars: Doctor Aphra]]''; published by [[Marvel Comics]], and written by [[Alyssa Wong]].

==Criticism==
Rich Thigpen, a member of the advisory board of [[Prism Comics]], has described a debate existing regarding GLAAD's award for Outstanding Comic Book and whether the comics the organization nominates "were deserving because of their LGBT content or because of the press coverage they generated".<ref name="Sequential Tart"/>{{sfn|Lopes|2009|page=140}} Thigpen stated that, given GLAAD's "very mission statement", it is expected that most Outstanding Comic Book nominees will be mainstream works that have "made the biggest media impact", and that he personally sees nothing wrong with this.<ref name="Sequential Tart">{{cite web |last1=Keller |first1=Katherine |title=Queer Eye for the Comics Gal or Guy |url=http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/aug04/rthigpen.shtml |website=Sequential Tart |access-date=March 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050826034453/http://www.sequentialtart.com/archive/aug04/rthigpen.shtml |archive-date=August 26, 2005 |date=August 2004 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Andrew Wheeler of [[ComicsAlliance]] has also criticed the focus on mainstream comics, as it results in the award having a "somewhat narrow focus".<ref name="ComicsAlliance"/> He points out how, despite [[Alison Bechdel]]'s ''[[Fun Home]]'' winning the Outstanding Comic Book award in 2007, ''[[Are You My Mother? (memoir)|Are You My Mother?]]'' wasn't even nominated during the 2013 ceremony. Wheeler also criticized the exclusion of [[webcomics]], arguing that the most "progressive and inclusive LGBT content in comics today" is to be found in digital comics.<ref name="ComicsAlliance"/> The omission of [[manga]] has also been criticized,<ref>{{Cite tweet |last=Friedman |first=Erica |user=OkazuYuri |number=1089242284091072512 |date=January 26, 2019 |title=They also don't include manga at all and this year has been a banner year for queer manga in English. |access-date=March 7, 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220306171413/https://twitter.com/OkazuYuri/status/1089242284091072512 |archive-date=March 6, 2022}}</ref> with [[Yuricon]] founder Erica Friedman stating that she has often written to GLAAD about including manga in this category.<ref>{{Cite tweet |last=Friedman |first=Erica |user=OkazuYuri |number=1089249486944325632 |date=January 26, 2019 |title=I have written @glaad many times asking them to please include manga.

The category has also been criticized for recognizing only the writers of individual comics, but not the artists. Wheeler has described this as "frustrating" and argued that it "undermines the award's credibility".<ref name="ComicsAlliance">{{cite web |last1=Wheeler |first1=Andrew |title=A Closer Look At The 25th GLAAD Media Awards Comics Nominees |url=https://comicsalliance.com/glaad-media-awards-comics-nominees-2014/ |website=[[ComicsAlliance]] |publisher=[[Townsquare Media]] |access-date=March 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140720023428/https://comicsalliance.com/glaad-media-awards-comics-nominees-2014/ |archive-date=July 20, 2014 |date=January 31, 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref> Writing for ''[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]]'', Steve Foxe described GLAAD's unacknowledgement of artists as "painful".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Foxe |first1=Steve |title=Why the GLAAD Media Awards Should Recognize Comics Artists |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/comics/why-the-glaad-media-awards-should-recognize-comics/ |website=[[Paste (magazine)|Paste]] |publisher=Paste Media Group |access-date=March 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301135225/https://www.pastemagazine.com/comics/why-the-glaad-media-awards-should-recognize-comics/ |archive-date=March 1, 2021 |date=January 22, 2015 |url-status=live |issn=1540-3106}}</ref> GLAAD's failure to recognize artists was criticized in 2019 by both [[comics journalism|comics journalist]] Oliver Sava<ref>{{Cite tweet |last=Sava |first=Oliver |user=OliverSava |number=1088853190144131073 |date=January 25, 2019 |title=Hey @glaad: We go through this EVERY YEAR.
