About me
Alison Bechdel’s work includes the pioneering comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For (1983–2008), and the graphic memoirs Fun Home, Are You My Mother? and The Secret to Superhuman Strength. Fun Home was adapted into a musical in 2015 that received five Tony Awards. In her work, Bechdel is preoccupied with the overlap of the political and the personal spheres. She is the recipient of Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships, as well as an Eisner Award. She was inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame in 2020. Her newest book, Spent: A Comic Novel, is hot off the press.
