Gay Comix #2

In "Cy Ross and the S.Q. Syndrome," Mary Wings crafts a quietly powerful story set between the 1920s and 1930s, following a young orphan raised as the daughter of a mentally ill woman, whose life takes a transformative turn when she meets another girl. The two form a deep bond that evolves into a love that defies the constraints of their time, leading them to make a daring choice to build a life together. With art, inks, and lettering by Wings herself, and a striking cover by Howard Cruse, this issue stands as a poignant, early exploration of identity and queer intimacy in a repressive era.
