Gay Comix #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Gay Monuments" is a striking, introspective story from Roberta Gregory, whose singular creative hand handles writing, art, inking, and lettering in this 1985 issue of Gay Comix. The tale follows an androgynous alien visitor from another world as it observes and attempts to comprehend humanity’s fixation on division and judgment—only to face judgment of its own from its own kind. The cover, by Jerry Mills, complements the story’s thoughtful tone with its distinctive, evocative imagery.
In "Acute Observation," an androgynous alien from another world observes human society with quiet curiosity, drawn to the way people divide themselves into opposites—man and woman, right and wrong—while struggling to grasp the deeper reasons behind such rigid distinctions. As the being attempts to understand this human trait, it finds itself unexpectedly scrutinized and judged by its own kind, whose perception of difference is far more complex than it first assumed.
