Timeline

1989

Maia Kobabe (, born 1989 ) is an American cartoonist and author.

Kobabe graduated with an MFA in Comics from California College of the Arts.

Kobabe's work features themes of "identity, sexuality, anti-fascism, fairy tales and homesickness."

Kobabe's graphic nonfiction work has been featured in The Nib, The Press Democrat, and SF Weekly, among other publications.

2019

Kobabe's first full-length book Gender Queer: A Memoir was published by Lion Forge Comics in 2019.

When asked in a Time magazine interview why Kobabe wrote the book, Kobabe said: "I wrote this book in huge part because I was struggling to come out, and I was asking myself all these questions and I was having these somewhat challenging conversations. And it often seems like I was never able to fully get my point across. And I got to the point where I thought, 'I have to sit down and write about this because I don’t feel like I am getting across verbally what I’m really trying to say.'"Gender Queer was made available in some school libraries but was subsequently banned by a school district in Alaska, due to its sexually explicit content.

Kobabe responded to the controversy with an opinion piece in The Washington Post, suggesting that accusers were upset less by the sexually explicit images and language than by the LGBTQ themes of the book.

Gender Queer was listed as one of the most banned or challenged books in September 2021 by The American Library Association's Office of Intellectual Freedom (OIF).

According to a report (September 2022) from PEN America, Kobabe was the second most banned author in US school districts during the 2021–22 school year, with Gender Queer the most frequently challenged book, banned in 41 school districts.

Discussing a wave of book censorship in early 2022 within the United States in a Slate interview, Kobabe said: "What I'm learning is that a book challenge is like a community attacking itself. The people who are hurt in a challenge are the marginalized readers in the community where the challenge takes place. That is readers who are younger, readers who do not have the financial means to buy books if they're not available for free in the library. That is queer teens who might not feel comfortable bringing a book with such an obvious title into their home, if they have more conservative parents who would only feel safe reading the book secretly in the library without even checking it out. So yes, it upsets me because what I'm seeing is resources being taken away from queer marginalized youth, which does hurt. That does hurt me."In January 2023, Scholastic acquired Saachi's Stories by Kobabe and Lucky Srikumar "in a six-figure auction".

The middle-grade graphic novel is scheduled for publication by Scholastic's imprint Graphix in 2025.

Kobabe uses Spivak pronouns (e/em/eir) and identifies as non-binary and asexual.

Kobabe is dyslexic and did not learn to read until age 11.

Kobabe has published short comics in the following anthologies:
