Lord Fanny from Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles

The first openly gay drag queen superhero that I’m aware of.

Morrison’s writing in this early stage of his career was raw and emotional.

“Tell us what you really think” style that left it all on the page.

Invisibles is great, so are his runs on Animal Man, and most famously Doom Patrol are from this era.

But Invisibles is his most personal work. Morrison practically inserts his self in the comic pages with his lookalike stand in King Mob.

It is said that he dressed up as Lord Fanny to go clubbing.

Other Invisibles characters are said to be other facets of Morrison himself, or him at various stages in his life, like young punk teenager Jack Frost for example.
