The Pervert is an original graphic novel full of sadness and gloom about a transsexual. The color choices are all dark and gloomy. The word choices too are not the most pleasant. It is full of LGBTQ’ slurs, with ‘fag’ popping up everywhere. The interesting thing about this read is the main character’s heartbreaking philosophy that their name does not matter, but instead love for others. As wonderful as that sounds they just do not matter to themselves and this is a theme throughout. Instead of a name, we see them get called ‘fag’ and various other slurs from various passersby’s. The devaluing of the protagonist helps keep this work uneasy and disheartening. For as many slurs we see the character get called, we also see her through various sexual activities as she lives as a prostitute.
