ljrinaldi's review against another edition
4.0
What can I say about this book that might possibly interest you in it? If you are curious about LGBTQ cartoonists this is an excellent collection of cartoonists of all ages and persuasions. I have been reading and collecting LGBTQ comics long before they were part of an alphabet soup, as they are these days. Happily, this collection includes some of the cartoonists I grew up on, such as Howard Cruz, and Jennifer Camper, and Roberta Gergory, as well as newer ones, who I have discovered by going to such conventions as APE (Alternative Press Expo), like Tana Ford.
There are some great stories, very personal, very close to the bone, as well as funny stories as well.
The stories aren't all about being queer. Some are just about creating cartoons. There is an excellent story by Ajuan Mance about having to straighten her hair all her life. One by Tod Brower tells how he hates blueberries and beets.
This is a nice way to dip ones toes into the world of LGBTQ comics, and have them all in one great collection.
