It examines the evolution of LGBTQ+ characters and storylines, highlighting their role in fostering social understanding. Comic books, a widely consumed form of popular culture, have the potential to influence societal attitudes. The book focuses on the development of recurring LGBTQ+ characters in both mainstream and independent comics and how storylines have evolved to address identity, acceptance, and social justice. This study analyzes comic book narratives and character designs against the backdrop of shifting social attitudes towards LGBTQ+ rights.

 
Did you know that comic books have served as a vital space for LGBTQ+ individuals to see themselves reflected in popular media? The book uniquely focuses on recurring characters and long-term storyline development, providing a comprehensive analysis of comic books' impact on LGBTQ+ visibility. It begins by introducing foundational concepts, such as representation theory, and then delves into case studies of LGBTQ+ characters in major comic universes and independent titles.

    The world is not as we think it is. We are taught standard accepted beliefs from birth and many of them are not correct or a misunderstanding of the truth. 
    Who am I to say so? At this writing I’m nearly seventy years old and I’ve spent my life observing reality as an engineer and explorer of the unknown. 
    I’ve had many weird and paranormal experiences and done lots of research. Many patterns have made themselves known to me and this is why I make these types of statements. 
    This book is an effort to shed light on these misunderstandings and change your perception of the world we live in. 
    Much of what I will relate is based on my subjective experiences and research many would say does not conform to the accepted scientific method yet you will see that my observations make a lot of common sense. 
    Some of these concepts have been around for thousands of years but are not commonly accepted today. My effort is to show you why these ideas are likely true and how these concepts also are built on to provide new understandings. 
    At the end of each chapter logic is provided on how general belief in these new ideas will change humanity. 
    My hope is that by the end of this book you the reader will open your mind more about many things which are strange but possibly true.

    'Heart-thumpingly powerful ... history told from the closest and most frightening quarters.' SINCLAIR MCKAY, author of The Secret Life of Bletchley Park
    
    'Shocking, terrifying and revealing. Ground-breaking history, expertly told - a dramatic new insight into the Falklands conflict.' ROGER BOLTON, BBC journalist and broadcaster
    Forty years on from the outbreak of the war, acclaimed TV journalist Julian Manyon digs down into Argentina's 'Dirty War' and its effect on the Falklands conflict
    
    On May 12th, 1982, after the first bloody exchanges of the Falklands War, journalist Julian Manyon and his TV crew were kidnapped on the streets of Buenos Aires and put through a traumatic mock execution by the secret police. Less than eight hours later they were invited to the Presidential Palace to film a world-exclusive interview with an apologetic President Galtieri, the dictator and head of the Argentine Junta.
    
    Spurred on by the recent release of declassified CIA documents about Argentina's 'Dirty War', Manyon discovered that his kidnapper was a key figure in the Junta's bloody struggle against left-wing opposition, with a terrifying record of torture and murder. Also in the secret documents were details of the wider picture - the turmoil inside the Junta as the war with Britain got under way, and how Argentina succeeded in acquiring vital US military equipment which made its war effort possible.
    
    Published on the 40th anniversary of the Falklands conflict, this book is an extraordinary insight into the war behind the war. Manyon provides a harrowing depiction of the campaign of terror that the Junta waged on its own population, and a new perspective on an episode of history more often centred on Mrs Thatcher, the Belgrano and the battle of Goose Green.
