MyReview:-Abook full of iconic Queer Villains and Legends. Even though we all have heard of some, if not them all, we aren't really told much about them. In this book Dan Jones explains who they are and why they are villains and queers. I did enjoy hearing about the Disney villains and queers, as well as  other villains and queers that we automatically know through history, television and books. My daughter did enjoy hearing about Doctor Who section but she did think there would of been more.  I have to say I found this book really interesting and finding out things I did know as well.
