Description

Fun Home: The Deluxe Collector’s Edition – A Family Tragicomic
by Alison Bechdel (Hardcover – November 4, 2025)

A stunning new Deluxe Collector’s Edition of Alison Bechdel’s landmark graphic memoir—now a modern queer classic and the inspiration for the Tony Award–winning musical.

In Fun Home, Alison Bechdel brings wit, artistry, and emotional precision to the story of her coming of age in a small Pennsylvania town and her complex relationship with her father, Bruce Bechdel—a brilliant, exacting English teacher and funeral director with secrets of his own. When Alison comes out as a lesbian in college, she discovers that her father was also gay—a revelation that reframes her entire childhood. Weeks later, he dies suddenly, leaving behind questions, contradictions, and an indelible mark on her life.

Told with both humor and heartbreak, Fun Home masterfully blends literary references, psychological depth, and Bechdel’s sharp eye for the interplay between love and repression, grief and self-discovery.

This Deluxe Collector’s Edition features:

• A cloth-bound hardcover case with new art by Alison Bechdel

• A reversible jacket with newly designed art on both sides, enhanced with teal and silver foil

• Sprayed page edges and illustrated endpapers

• Bonus art and commentary celebrating two decades of this groundbreaking memoir

A pioneering work in LGBTQ+ literature and the art of the graphic novel, Fun Home is an unforgettable exploration of family, identity, and the ways we learn to tell our own stories.
