Gay Comix #9

"Behold modern man!" is a sharp, self-aware slice of queer life from Jerry Mills, who wrote, drew, inked, and lettered this standout issue of Gay Comix #9. In a moment of delicious tension, Yves finds himself caught between fantasy and reality when the plumber he’s just read about shows up at his kitchen door—very much alive, and very interested. The cover, also by Mills, captures the story’s wry, intimate energy in bold, expressive lines.
