6. Hazel and Izabel (Saga)

Image Comics isn’t the most mainstream of comic book publishers. That title belongs to DC and Marvel, but this publishing company has been a staunch champion of LGBTQ+ representation in the vibrant realm of comic books. Get ready to dive into the captivating universe of Saga, a celebrated sci-fi/fantasy series that showcases a diverse cast of characters.

Let’s start with Hazel, the daughter of Alana and Marko, the dynamic duo at the center of Saga. What makes Hazel even more remarkable is her bisexuality. Hazel embarks on thrilling adventures in a chaotic universe.

Next up we have Izabel, the spirited and ghostly babysitter who enters Hazel’s life. But don’t let her supernatural nature fool you! Izabel is more than just a guardian; she becomes Hazel’s confidante and cherished friend. Identifying as bisexual, Izabel adds an extra sprinkle of LGBTQ+ representation to the magical world of Saga.

Hazel and Izabel share an extraordinary bond that defies the boundaries of friendship. As they navigate the cosmic chaos around them, their connection deepens, reminding us that love and support can bloom in the most unexpected of places.

One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of Saga is its ability to challenge stereotypes and break free from societal norms.

Hazel and Izabel have become beacons of hope and inspiration for LGBTQ+ readers everywhere. Their presence in the comic book world offers much-needed representation and relatability. Image Comics has been a source of support for the LGBTQ+ community through its promotion of diversity.
