The story “Number One” by the lovely Joey Alison Sayers, best known for the hilarious, multiple Ignatz award-nominated comic strip “Thingpart,” and the acclaimed autobiographical comic book, Just So You Know;
Eric Orner, the creator of the classic comic strip “The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green” contributes 14 pages devoted to his “Weekends Abroad” in Tel Aviv; and
I present “Freedom Flight,” which offers a fresh glimpse of Drew, the embodiment of nerdy alterna-gay twenty-something white boy angst, in a prequel of sorts to Curbside Boys. Read an excerpt here.

Issue #2 of THREE is now available! This edition features a trio of comic collaborations from 3 pairs of cartoonists: Jon Macy, the award-winning artist responsible for Teleny and Fearful Hunter illustrates an autobiographical tale of sex and sort-of romance by Brit cartoonist-and-zinester-turned-academic Sina Shamsavari; veteran alterna-queer cartoonist Jen Camper and all-time fan-favorite Michael Fahy alternate panels in a romance comic with a difference; and Boy Trouble favorites David “Steven’s Comics” Kelly and Craig Bostick team up for their devoted fans with a tale set in the early 1960s, about a country singer and a gay hustler.
NEW! My solo minicomic King for a Day is now available! KFaD is a pantomime comic strip (i.e. told entirely without any text or dialogue) about an ordinary joe who finds and dons a royal crown and finds his life transformed. But is this a good thing or a bad thing? Read it and find out for yourself! Critic Justin Giampaoli of the Poopsheet Foundation says: “It’s sort of a Winsor McCay meets Archie Comics by way of Jordan Crane vibe, with an absolutely affable and inviting art style.” Twenty four B&W pages with color covers.
