Book Description

Publication Date: June 29, 2004

Editors Robert Kirby and David Kelly celebrate Boy Trouble's 10th anniversary with some of today's best gay and lesbian cartoonists as they riff on the alternative boy aesthetic. Jennifer Camper's protagonist spends a whirlwind day with his juvenile delinquent dyke sister; Ivan Velez, Jr. chronicles the heartaches of the well-endowed; and Craig Bostick captures the bittersweet angst of teen rock'n'roll boys. Then, Kelly and Leanne Franson explore alienating bar life; Kirby and underground legend G.B. Jones present an encounter with an artsy adolescent; and Andy Hartzell offers a whimsical and beautifully drawn 12-page fantasy. Also featured: Cavalcade of Boys creator Tim Fish, Anonymous Boy, C. Bard Cole, and Michael Fahy.
