Marvel Comics outed its first gay superhero Northstar in 1992—and waited 12 years to let him have a relationship. On January 13th, Marvel releases NATION X #2 in which story writer/artist Tim Fish presents this watershed moment in LGBT comics history. Join Tim Fish as he moderates a discussion of Northstar and LGBT comics from around the world. Tim Fish also works at MIT, and has produced comics for BAY WINDOWS, DOM magazine, and Marvel Comics. He has been published in French, Italian, and Portuguese; he has spoken on topic of comics domestically, as well as in Paris, Stockholm, and Berlin.
