Stuck Rubber Baby #[nn]

"Stuck Rubber Baby" is a powerful, intimate coming-of-age story set in the segregated South during the 1960s, following Toland Polk as he navigates the turbulent landscape of civil rights activism and his own evolving sense of self. Written and illustrated by Howard Cruse, the issue blends personal revelation with historical gravity, rendered in Cruse’s distinctive, emotionally resonant style. The cover, also by Cruse, captures the story’s quiet intensity with a striking, hand-drawn portrait that echoes the narrative’s introspective tone.
