Coming Out of My Orthodox Childhood 

Kartoniert, 15 x 22 cm, 260 Seiten, vollfarbig, in englischer Sprache, 26,95 EUR

Softcover, 6 x 8,5“, 260 pages, full color, 26,95 EUR

A coming-of-age graphic novel memoir about a young man who, growing up in an Orthodox Jewish community, realizes he's gay and struggles to reconcile his faith with who he is.

Lonnie's Orthodox Jewish community has always been clear: it's not okay to be gay. Growing up in a devout family and going to school at a yeshiva, he's told by his parents, his teachers, and his friends that being gay is a sin and an abomination. But as he gets older, he realizes that he likes boys, and wonders what kind of life he will be able to live. As Lonnie expands his world beyond the yeshiva to theater camp, college classes, and movie nights, he sees that the life he wants isn't compatible with the life of his parents — and his whole religious community.

This emotional graphic novel explores the fissures between identity and religion and charts Lonnie's journey from a kid who loved the rules of the Orthodox Jewish tradition to becoming increasingly independent and defiant, embracing his gay identity and developing his own chosen family.

“Tokyo-based couple Mann and Gatts integrate their illustrative and authorial talents in this debut graphic memoir vividly detailing Mann's coming-of-age while cloaking his burgeoning homosexual feelings.” - Kirkus Reviews

But when crazed Detective Felt raids Irina’s lab, the couple dive into the freshly powered-up portal to escape capture.

SAINTED LOVE is a steamy time-traveling adventure series, equal parts romance and science fiction as two heroes fight for their love while journeying across centuries of history. It’s sexy, it’s exciting, it’s fast-paced. It’s a gay romance that sees queer heroes become legends themselves as they explore and adventure through iconic times in queer history, from the passion of gay saints Sergius and Bacchusto to the Lavender Mafia of the 1970s, and in between. Irina and Wolf first think they need to return home, but they soon realize that their real calling is elsewhere in time, to places where they’re free to love and exists as who they are and eras that desperately need their help.

Steve Orlando (Eisner and GLAAD Award nominated writer of SCARLET WITCH, SPIDER-MAN 2099, WONDER WOMAN) and Giopota (artist+creator of beloved webcomic MOTHERSEA) hurl you across time with Irina and Wolf, as they encounter famous queer people throughout history and fight back against all who would see their names and love erased!

Softcover, 6,5 x 10", full color, 144 pages, 18,95 EUR

Alice, a young writer of children's story books, is hurtled out of her fairytale-like life when she discovers her girlfriend has been cheating on her! Charmingly defiant, she leaves her small forest town and leaps into a new adventure to seek love (and find herself) in the fast life of San Francisco. There, her concept of pure, magical love will be completely overturned--but her biggest challenge won't be reckoning with other people's sexual drive, it'll be getting a grip on her own!

From your new favorite writer and artist team of Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, ALICE IN LEATHERLAND is a comedy about sex and so, inevitably, about every other aspect of life, too. As Iolanda and Elisa describe the book: "Sex is recounted as a way to investigate our relationship with ourselves and others, with our bodies and our place in the world; sexual pleasure as self-affirmation and growth. There is room for Love, too, and bravery. And for many good laughs, that never hurts." 

“This romantic comedy, written by Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, who are a couple, is most assuredly for adults: The story depicts — sometimes with little left to the imagination — the ups and downs of casual sex.” - The New York Times

Jake Hyde doesn't swim--not since his father drowned. Luckily, he lives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Yet he yearns for the ocean and is determined to leave his hometown for a college on the coast. His best friend, Maria, however, wants nothing more than to stay in the desert, and Jake's mother encourages him to always play it safe.

There's nothing "safe" about Jake's future--not when he's attracted to Kenny Liu, swim team captain and rebel against conformity. And certainly not when he secretly applies to the University of Miami. Jake's life begins to outpace his small town's namesake, which doesn't make it any easier to come out to his mom, or Maria, or the world.

But Jake is full of secrets, including the strange blue markings on his skin that glow when in contact with water. What power will he find when he searches for his identity, and will he turn his back to the current or dive headfirst into the waves?

Two voices that shaped LGBTQ Young Adult literature & comics, Lambda Award-Winning author Alex Sanchez (RAINBOW BOYS) and New York Times bestselling illustrator Julie Maroh (BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR), present a new coming-out romance and origin story for DCs teen superhero Aqualad.

Hardcover, 10 x 7,5", 234 pages, b&w, 24,99 EUR

Set in Alabama in the 1960s, STUCK RUBBER BABY tells the story of Toland Polk, a young man who is deeply in the closet and hell-bent on "fixing" his homosexuality. Toland is not prone to making waves, but he finds himself drawn to a lively group of civil rights activists. With his new friends, he starts frequenting sit-ins and gay bars. This raises the ire of local bigots and quite literally brings the Klan to his doorstep. 

This painstakingly researched and exquisitely illustrated graphic novel draws on Howard Cruse's (1944 – 2019) experience as a young gay man in 1960s Birmingham, Alabama. Just in time for its twenty-fifth anniversary, this deeply personal and epic in scope, rich and moving tale of identity and resistance is back in print – complete with an updated introduction from Alison Bechel, rare photographs, and previously unpublished archival material that give a thorough, behind-the-scenes look at this graphic novel masterpiece.

Paperback, 6 x 9“, 256 pages, full color, 22,00 EUR

A child who feels like an outsider in a world that’s set against him. A boy who sings on the playground instead of playing soccer, who likes Barbies, and whose secretly favorite car is the one called Tutti Frutti. Gabriel Ebensperger shares with us his struggles with his own inadequacy, his feelings of guilt, and above all, his fear that his “difference” will be discovered.

The vibrant bright pink pages of Gay Giant paint a picture of what it was like to grow up being gay in the ’90s, through the voice of an endearing character, who on the way to becoming an adult realizes that the rejection of the world is never over, and that true acceptance comes from within yourself.

Gebunden, 14 x 21 cm, 320 Seiten, s/w, in englischer Sprache, 25,00 EUR

Hardcover, 6 x 8“, 320 pages, b&w, 25,00 EUR

Ellie always had questions about who she was and how she fit in. As a girl, she wore black, obsessed over Willow in BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, and found dating boys much more confusing than many of her friends did. As she grew older, so did her fears and a deep sense of unbelonging. From her first communion to her first girlfriend via a swathe of self-denial, awkward encounters, and everyday courage, Ellie tells her story through gorgeous illustrations - 

a fresh and funny self-portrait of a young woman becoming herself.

THE TIMES I KNEW I WAS GAY reminds us that people sometimes come out not just once but again and again; that identity is not necessarily about falling in love with others, but about coming to terms with oneself. Full of vitality and humor, it will ring true for anyone who has taken the time to discover who they truly are.

Eleanor Crewes is a London-based illustrator, author, and graphic artist who graduated from University of the Arts in London in 2016. Her debut graphic memoir THE TIMES I KNEW I WAS GAY originated as a self-published zine in 2017. It eventually became a small book, published by Good Comics and exhibited at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, Thought Bubble, Brighton Illustration Fair, and The Lakes International Comic Arts Festival. This new and expanded version represents her American debut.

A spiritualist with a secret to hide. A choral performer who can't fit in. A Comtesse trapped against her will and in her own body.

The Victorian-era visuals are lushly realized and impeccably researched, and the characters are both authentic to the period and feel completely modern in their diverse identities and sensibilities. 

I’m already holding my breathe for more of these adventures!” - Justin Hall (Editor of NO STRAIGHT LINES)

It's Robin Hood like you've never seen him before, based on scholarly and historical speculation about what's really behind the outlaw's legend.

13th century England. Robert Godwinson, former lover of King Richard, lives with his band of Merry Men in Sherwood Forest, away from the watchful eye of Prince John, who has outlawed homosexuality. Though isolated, the men live in peace—that is, until a stranger enters their camp seeking aid for a nearby town besieged by the Sheriff of Nottingham. Robert - nicknamed Robin - is reluctant to help, but equally eager to get rid of this perplexing stranger... and to put his formidable bow-and-arrow to use. It's Robin Hood like you've never seen him before, based on scholarly speculation about what's really behind the outlaw's legend.

"MERRY MEN deftly weaves queer themes into Robin Hood's counterculture mythos, creating a very sexy and relevant take on the hero we all grew up with." - Ed Luce (WUVABLE OAF)

A story of love and demons, family and witchcraft. Nova Huang knows more about magic than your average teen witch. She works at her grandmothers’ bookshop, where she helps them loan out spell books and investigate any supernatural occurrences in their New England town. One fateful night, she follows reports of a white wolf into the woods, and she comes across the unexpected: her childhood crush, Tam Lang, battling a horse demon in the woods. As a werewolf, 

Tam has been wandering from place to place for years, unable to call any townhome. Pursued by dark forces eager to claim the magic of wolves and out of options, Tam turns to Nova for help. Their latent feelings are rekindled against the backdrop of witchcraft, untested magic, occult rituals, and family ties both new and old in this enchanting tale of self-discovery.

“MOONCAKES is spellbinding. It had everything I love in a story—magic that felt inventive, characters that became my friends, and a romance that felt truly authentic. It was one of those books that I was sad to see end. Luckily, I can always reread.” — Tillie Walden (SPINNING and ON A SUNBEAM)

Hardcover, 8 x 6", 104 pages, ful color, 12,95 EUR (Special Offer)

Dass es schwule Cowboys gab, wussten wir nicht erst seit BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, dass es aber so bunt zuging, hätten wir nicht gedacht. Rocky und Hudson tragen rosa Hemden zu ihren pofreien Jeans, sind frauenfeindlich und können Indianer nur dann massakrieren, wenn diese nicht zu hübsch sind. Auch sonst strotzen die Comic-Strips von Adao Iturrusgarai nur so vor Klischees. Diese werden aber so lange ausgewalzt, überhöht und immer wieder auf unterschiedlichste Art und Weise gebrochen, bis auch dem letzten Leser klar ist, dass dieser Wahnsinn hier Methode hat.

In 1991, long before the release of the film BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, two gay cowboys appeared in comic strips of Brazilian newspapers. Rocky and Hudson were the first to show that not everything in the Wild West was gunfights, saloons, and high jinks on trusty steeds—there was room for poetry, flowers, parties, and romance. Illustrated in a style reminiscent of underground cartoonists of the 1960s, this book is a collection of the madcap comic strips that turned the familiar trope of the Old West on its ear.

Softcover, 6 x 8", 240 pages, full color, 17,99 EUR

In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, „Gender Queer“ is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, 

GENDER QUEER is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.

After three years in Milan, Matteo returns home to the provincial country town where he was born and from which he had fled. Coming out as a young gay man in a provincial country town had led to ugly clashes with his conservative father, and the urban metropolis of Milan had been a welcome change from the stifling small town life of his childhood and the anger and bewilderment of some members of his family. But now, Matteo finds himself with little choice but to return home, with no money, no job, and an uncertain future, like so many other young people of his millennial generation. Afraid of encountering his estranged father, he instead takes refuge with his extended family, at a house shared by his grandmother, three aunts, and his very pregnant cousin. As he tries to rebuild his life, reconnecting with the women of his family and old hometown friends, he warily confronts a few truths about the other generations of his family - from their bigotry to their love, and tolerance, and acceptance - and a few truths about himself, including his fears of confrontation and commitment.

A romantic comedy at its core, Wuvable Oaf recalls elements of comics as diverse as SCOTT PILGRIM, LOVE AND ROCKETS, and ARCHIE, set against the background of San Francisco’s queer community and music scene.

Die Weltraumabenteuer, die Captain Kirk und seine Crew in „Star Trek” erlebten, sind Gute-Nacht-Geschichten für Kinder, vergleicht man sie mit den Erlebnissen Byrons, des Titelhelden von Patrick Fillions SPACE CADET. Praktisch jede außerirdische Lebensform, der Byron begegnet, will ihn entweder umbringen oder Sex mit ihm haben, gelegentlich auch beides. So hat der Held ständig alle Hände voll zu tun, sich der Weltraummonster-Tentakeln zu erwehren, die seine Körperöffnungen erkunden wollen, oder seinen großen Schwanz bis zum letzten Tropfen auspressen. Dank seiner Superkräfte gewinnt Byron jedoch jeden Kampf, und seine Siege feiert er mit galaktischen Samenergüssen!

Besonderes empfehlenswert ist dabei die Episode "The Tempering Way": Warum es den Weltraumhelden Byron in eine Fantasywelt verschlagen hat? Egal! Wichtig in diesem kurzweiligen Comic sind die kleinen, aber geilen Satyren, die sich des ohnmächtigen Weltraumkadetten annehmen, der prächtig ausgestattete Zentaur, der ihm an die (nicht vorhandene) Wäsche will und Bösewicht Baron von Phallus, dem Tentakelpenise aus dem Kopf wachsen und der nach Byrons Lebens- bzw. Lendenenergie trachtet. Storytechnisch etwas wirr, dafür zeichnerisch ziemlich geil!

They say heroes are born, not made. That isn t the case with BYRON DURAND. For him, it was a little of both. As the heroic SPACE CADET, Byron was born with an unwavering sense of justice and a profound need to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Through scientific advances, EMIL DURAND, Byron´s father has made him into a powerful super-human, capable of harnessing cosmic radiation and transforming it into incredible energy. Now Byron uses all the power at his disposal to keep his beloved Gateway City safe from evil. But that is a mandate that often leads our young hero into a number of perilous situations. 

Since his first appearance in "The Incredibly Hung Naked Justice" #2 in 2004, SPACE CADET has been beloved by Class Comics fans. His exploits and adventures have aroused the imagination of his many readers, and now every single SPACE CADET story created by Class Comics is available for the first time ever in one collected volume. From his earliest battle with JACK THE STRIPPER, to his hook-up with the intrepid MAKO FINN, to his intensely sexual encounter with the alien entity called VOID, to the eve of his transformation into the all-new NAKED JUSTICE, SPACE CADET s wildest exploits are all here for you to discover or rediscover for the very first time ever.

Featuring stories written and illustrated by Patrick Fillion, SPACE CADET: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION also features breathtaking artwork by other Class Comics artists such as David Cantero, Bob Grey, Leon de Leon, Anthony Gonzales and Bryce Peters, along with colors by Nimbus and Hernán Cabrera to name just a few.

Brimming with insanely hot sex, out-of-this-world heroics, compelling stories and beautiful artwork, SPACE CADET perfectly merges the classic superhero genre with the trouser-tenting thrill of modern Gay Adult Comics.

Basierend auf Interviews mit Londoner "Sex-Arbeitern", hat Howard Hardiman eine Comicserie entwickelt und im Eigenverlag herausgebracht. Erzählt wird die Geschichte von Eddie, genannte Ford ("Ford escort, like in hitch-hiker´s. Get it?"), der aus Geldnot, aber auch weil es ihm Spaß macht, als Escort arbeitet, seinen Freunden aber nie etwas davon erzählt. Eine Beziehung nach der anderen geht dabei in die Brüche, und als er sich in einen anderen Escort verliebt, droht ihm sein Leben endgültig zu entgleiten. Verschachtelt und konsequent aus der Perspektive von Eddie erzählt ergibt sich das eindringliche Portrait eines modernen Strichers.

Der Clou: Um die Identität der Interviewten zu schützen, zeichnet Hardiman sie als anthropomorphe Hunde. Ungewöhnlich, manchmal sogar etwas unstet, aber oft atemberaubend ist dieser Zeichenstil. Ebenso weit entfernt vom Strich anderer biographischer Comics wie auch des "gemeinen" Furry-Comics.

It’s hard being someone’s Mister Right when for a hundred pounds an hour, you’re anyone’s Mister Right Now!

Young ex-art student Eddie has abandoned his course, his family, his lover and his friends to follow a male escort into a world of sex, drugs and unrequited love. Now that he is beginning a tentative romance with an old friend, he will have to face the challenge of being honest about what he’s doing in the weird hours he works; and the lengths he’s willing to go to try to please everyone around him.

This is an intelligent and surprisingly romantic coming-of-age story that deals with gay culture, sex workers, art and just trying to make love work. Developed from original interviews with sex workers, Howard Hardiman gives a genuine voice to the anxieties and concerns of those in the trade.

Covid-19 has hit Japan, and Asuka is struggling.

Asuka is neither a woman nor a man - they're X-gender (a non-binary identity) - and they've realized they like women! Okay, now what? Adult films are fun to watch, but real sex is less appealing.

Mama Tomoko keeps her sons happy and healthy while her husband's away, and eldest son Hiroki, for his part, jokes and dissembles his way around the not-so-little "secret" of his sexuality while figuring things out for himself.

And now Hiroki might have another secret to keep! Lately he's been coming home from school talking enthusiastically about a certain boy, his classmate Daigo!

Supportive Tomoko has an inkling Hiroki might be gay, but she's going to let him figure it out for himself. Unfortunately, Hiroki has little talent for keeping his "secret," so he might die of embarassment before all is said and done!

Lesbian heroes try out a kinky rolepaying scenario, and discover how to make it work for both of them. And an exhausted 

assassin relaxes after a long day with the kind (yet firm) attentions of his husband.

Featuring work by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS („The Man of Steel“), JIM ZUB („Wayward“), KIERON GILLEN („The Wicked and the Divine“), SINA GRACE („Iceman“), and many more.
