Wet Moon is a series of graphic novels by Sophie Campbell and published by Oni Press. Primarily set in the fictional southern American college town of Wet Moon, the series stars a large cast of characters, most in their late teens and early twenties, with many into the Goth subculture and other Alternative cultures. Early chapters of Wet Moon begin with quoted lyrics from gothic and alternative bands such as Bella Morte. The mostly-female cast is notable for its diversity of body types, including those with disabilities (e.g., conjoined twins). They struggle with relationships (with parents, siblings, friends, and lovers), and with LGBTQ issues most prominently. Conversely, while the cast is racially diverse, race and class concerns are not expressed much. The series is known for its dark themes, delving into anger, violence, drugs, self-injury, illness, and predatory sex, while also celebrating themes of community, love, growth, and friendship.
The first six books were originally published under the author's deadname from 2004 to 2012, with initial plans for two additional books.[1][2] In 2015, Sophie Campbell announced reprints of the series, with redesigned covers by artist Annie Mok. Subsequently, a new seventh book, released in November 2018, completed the (now revised) story arc; the afterword therein dangles the possibility of a future volume with the characters being older.[3]
