The best of gay and lesbian cartooning! Out of the closet of underground comics has emerged a brave new generation of gay and lesbian cartoonists. Take a hilarious cruise into the vanguard of social, sexual, and political observation and satire charted by these talented artists. Culled from the pages of the Gay Comix series, as well as from national and regional publications, here are tales of coming out and sexual escapades, animal jokes, stories of ardent political fury, and adventures in black leather. The text by Robert Triptow places each of the cartoonists and their strips into a social and artistic context. Gay Comics includes these all-time favorites: Harry Chess (The Man From A.U.N.T.I.E.! Gayer Than Strange! Castro! Poppers! Leatherthing! Jayson!
