Storyline Evolution examines the progression of LGBTQ+ characters and narratives in North American comics, reflecting evolving social attitudes and graphic narrative techniques. The book traces how these characters have moved from subtext to the forefront, highlighting the impact of independent comics and, later, mainstream superhero comics in fostering more nuanced portrayals. Early depictions often relied on harmful stereotypes due to social constraints, but the increasing visibility signals broader societal progress.

The book uniquely focuses on both the content of LGBTQ+-centric plots and the formal elements of graphic storytelling, such as panel composition and character design. By analyzing comic book history and incorporating insights from gender studies and cultural studies, Storyline Evolution offers an interdisciplinary perspective. The book begins by establishing a historical context, then analyzes key periods of change, and culminates by considering the future of LGBTQ+ representation in comics.
