“He had never publicly, in print, declared he was gay…he thought coming out would only add to his woes.” Cruse decided that “it would be cowardly” to decline the editor position for these reasons.Ĭruse recognized that gay people were viewed as caricatures by most of the world, and wanted to publish comics that showed the humanity and normal side of lesbian and gay people. Originally Cruse had reservations about editing the anthology. Gay Comix aimed to get the gay and lesbian contributors to write about things that had happened to them, and experiences they had had. A call was put out for artists through comics magazine Cascade Comix Monthly. The two had worked together previously Cruse’s comic Barefootz was published through Kitchen Sink Press. In 1979, after realizing underground cartoonist Howard Cruse was gay, Kitchen asked him to edit an anthology of gay comic artists. The idea for Gay Comix came from Denis Kitchen, a publisher of underground comics through the company he founded, Kitchen Sink Press. Andy Mangels edited issues #14 to #25 and a special issue featuring Barela Mangels changed the title to Gay Comics starting with issue #15, in part to divest it of the " underground" implications of "comix".Įxcerpts from Gay Comix were included in a 1989 anthology titled Gay Comics.
