The Book of Boy Trouble

Showcasing 10 years of alternative gay male comics from artists featured in the popular alternative zine, Boy Trouble - the world's first forum for alternative gay comic artists. Boy Trouble is a 'zine with a unique character - gay comics with attitude, ranging from sex, love and longing to alienation, porn shops, drugs and punk rock. The most recent edition (distributed by Top Shelf Productions) was applauded in national magazines such as Out, Instinct, and Utne, and was included on The Advocate's list of 'Hot Reads' for Summer 2004. This 10-year celebration includes reprints of fan favourites such as Fahy's Valentine's Day Love Poem and Cole's The Boy Who Loved Ben Affleck, as well as 24 pages of new colour work. With the first edition of Boy Trouble now regarded by many as a defining moment in the public recognition of alternative gay male comic book artists, this is an equally important milestone - a first collection of one of the most important and influential gay boy 'zines around.
