About

An image of Bryan wearing a green sweater over a blue collared shirt and black pants. Bryan sits cross-legged in front of his bookshelf, and his dog Boki sits on his lap staring up at him.

Welcome! My name is Bryan Bove, I am a writer, artist, and general pop culture nerd whose work has appeared in the film studies journal The Projector and The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies.

I am currently a PhD candidate in the American Culture Studies program at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, with a secondary concentration in Women’s Studies. My areas of interest include comics studies, queer and feminist studies, gender & sexuality, disability studies, YA novels (specifically queer YA and 1990s supernatural romance), and pop music of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Bryan's dog Boki lies on the floor, his paws tucked underneath him, his chin resting on a blue and green rubber bone toy. He lies like a torpedo in front of a blue armchair, with a bookshelf to his left.
Boki standing in a green field. His back is to the camera and he is staring at some trees in the distance.
Boki is sitting in the living room, his ears extended to their full height, his tongue sticking out as he smiles sweetly at the camera.

When I’m not reading for school, I’m often reading for fun. I also enjoy traveling, long bike rides, walks with my dog Boki, cooking, photography, and watching tv.
