>>> QUEER BOOK CLUB - WASHINGTON'S GAY GENERAL w/ JOSH TRUJILLO (virtually)!
>> SUNDAY, APRIL 21st @ 6:30pm
The QUEER BOOK CLUB has made it's come back and we're discussing WASHINGTON'S GAY GENERAL written by JOSH TRUJILLO and drawn by LEVI HASTINGS! Through Zoom JOSH TRUJILLO will be joining us to discuss the graphic novel!
This graphic novel biography tells the true story of one of the most important, but largely forgotten, military leaders of the American Revolution, Baron Wilhelm Von Steuben, who brought much-needed knowledge to the inexperienced and ill-prepared Continental Army. As its first Inspector General, Von Steuben created an organizational framework for the US military, which included writing the Blue Book guide that became the standard for training American soldiers for more than a century. Beginning with Von Steuben's career in the Prussian Army, Trujillo explores his recruitment by Benjamin Franklin, his work alongside General George Washington at the Battle of Valley Forge, and his eventual decline into obscurity. In Washington's Gay General, Trujillo and Hastings impart both the intricacies of queer history and the importance of telling stories that highlight queer experiences.
Josh stopped by Fantom back in March and signed copies of the book! Get it in-store or on our website before we sell out: https://stores.comichub.com/fantom_comics/products/washingtons-gay-general-hardcover-graphic-novel-mature-
