Maurice Vellekoop's ABC Book: A Homoerotic Primer

Maurice Vellekoop's ABC Book: A Homoerotic Primer is a single-issue comic from Gates of Heck, Inc., first published in 1997 and still in print. As the title suggests, it pairs Vellekoop's lush, detailed illustrations with an alphabet of playful, queer-themed vignettes, blending camp humor with fine-art sensibilities. A cult favorite, it stands as a cheeky, affectionate celebration of gay culture through the artist's distinctive, retro-inspired style.
