GAYSAR COMICS

We are more than just a comic book company. We are a company fighting for gay rights in an artistic way.  We are sharing our stories and showing our different phases of life while helping our community in many ways.


At GAYSAR Comics, we have created gay characters with special powers - known as gay-heroes. They may be fictional, but we are empowering all aspect of our community and celebrating our differences. How? GAYSAR will donate 2% of its bi-monthly comic book issue sales to international and national gay nonprofit organizations.


We represent all sides of our queer community. Our characters are gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual, and feature sub-communities such as leather, bear, drag queen and twink.


Before we created these characters, we met with high school LGBTQ students to understand the issues they face and to inspire stories that reflect our community.

"GAYSAR, where anyone can be a hero"

Each character represents current issues that affect each of us, inside and outside of our community. For example, transgender issues; what these people are going through and have to face in a daily basic. Also, in Uganda gay people are being punished with life imprisonment or to death penalty. Kids in Honduras are being exploited and used for drug cartels. The global political issues we cover also include social justice, AIDS/HIV, love, awareness and acceptance.

With your donation

We will release the first comic book November 7 at Bent-Con expo in LA. In addition, with your donation you will be able to choose any of the Perks available.

The Impact

GAYSAR will impact our community in different ways, but most importantly in bring awareness, education and entertainment. We are also going to be releasing our gay-heroes logos where we will have them on clothing such as shirts and underwear. We will become a strong voice for the issues of our community.
