Queer Comic Art Featured on San Francisco Bus Kiosks
By Jacob Anderson-Minshall
Every year since 1992, the San Francisco Arts Commission displays the work of artists in the Art on Market Street Kiosk Poster Series installed in bus kiosks on Market Street between 8th Street and the Embarcadero. On display through February is the work of award-winning gay comic artist Justin Hall (pictured), the first Fullbright Scholar in Comics and editor of the queer comics history anthology,
No Straight Lines.
“Marching Toward Pride” is made up of 12 posters, representing six pivotal moments in San Francisco’s LGBTQ history. The poster-sized comic pages feature images of critical people and draw dialogue from the GLBT Historical Society and San Francisco Public Library archives. Hall used single-color images to reference the original Pride rainbow flag s colors.
