Lonnie Mann

I grew up doodling in class and reading comics outside of class.

Though I always knew I loved drawing, I didn’t realize how much I liked telling stories (and that I could combine those two passions) until I went back to school for a while at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

My new full-length graphic novel about growing up gay and Orthodox Jewish, "Gaytheist: Coming Out of My Orthodox Childhood", will be released February 6, 2024 from Street Noise Books! Please consider pre-ordering it at your local comic shop / bookstore, online, and/or requesting it at your local library!
