☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In a quiet corner of the 1920s–30s, a young orphan raised by a troubled woman finds unexpected kinship with another girl, their bond deepening into something tender and defiant. As their love grows, they face the weight of a world that offers no easy path forward.
In a quiet moment of reflection, married minister Jerry Mack Wyatt is struck by a wave of memory after learning his old friend has come out and is now drawing for a gay newspaper. The revelation stirs up painful recollections of a lost love from his youth, a crush that ended in silence and shame.
