>> A career-spanning biography of a central and significant figure in queer
>> comics
>> Description
>>
>> *Howard Cruse* tells the life story of one of the most important figures
>> in LGBTQ+ comics. A preacher’s kid from Alabama who became “the godfather
>> of queer comics,” Cruse (1944–2019) was a groundbreaking underground
>> cartoonist, a wicked satirist, an LGBTQ+ activist, and a mentor to a vast
>> network of queer comics artists. His comic strip *Wendel*, published in *The
>> Advocate* throughout the 1980s, is considered a revolutionary moment in
>> the development of LGBTQ+ comics, as is his inaugurating the editorship of *Gay
>> Comix* with Kitchen Sink Press in 1979, which furthered the careers of
>> important artists like Jennifer Camper and Alison Bechdel. Cruse’s graphic
>> novel *Stuck Rubber Baby*, published in 1995, fictionalizes his own
>> coming out in the context of the civil rights movement in 1960s Birmingham
>> and was a significant forerunner to contemporary graphic novels and memoirs.
>>
>> *Howard Cruse *draws on extensive archival research and interviews and
>> covers Cruse’s entire body of work: the cute and zany *Barefootz*, the
>> unexpected innovations of the *Gay Comix* stories, the domestic
>> intimacies of *Wendel*, and the complexity and power of *Stuck Rubber
>> Baby*. The book places Cruse’s art in the context of his life and his
>> times, including the historic movements for gay rights and against the AIDS
>> crisis, and it celebrates this extraordinary and essential figure of LGBTQ+
>> comics and American comics art more broadly.
>> Reviews
>>
>> "*Howard Cruse *is a compelling and moving narrative that puts Cruse in
>> his rightful place as a significant figure in late twentieth-century comics
>> history, LGBTQIA+ history, and US culture in general."
>> - Andrew J. Kunka, author of The Life and Comics of Howard Cruse: Taking
>> Risks in the Service of Truth
