QU33R

No Straight Lines: Four Decades Of Queer Comics

Comix are the doujinshi of the western comics scene.  Small press or self-published, comix are typically tales told of underground or fringe “lifestyles.” Very often intensely personal, they are a window into a life that may be yours. No Straight Lines looks back at the early history of “gay comix” and the people who  told our stories.

This anthology is a must-read for people interested in the history of western LGBTQ comics.
