Taking Risks in the Service of Truth

Produktbeschreibung

This book tells the remarkable story of how a preacher’s kid from Birmingham, Alabama became the so-called “Godfather of Gay Comics.” Lavishly illustrated with a broad selection of comics from Howard Cruse’s fifty-year career, this study showcases his critical role as a satirist and commentator on his times.
