Gay Comix

LGBT themes have been explored in underground comix since the early '70s. One of these alternative comics is Gay Comix, which was published from 1980 to 1998. Many of the early story lines were autobiographical from the homosexual artists involved in the series, and themes included falling in love, coming out, and sex. Even though the comics featured gay relationships, they weren't as sexually explicit as some of the other graphic novels in the genre.

Once I read a very interesting essay about how The Smurfs was a model for communist society. It had some very compelling arguments. It makes me wonder about the writers, sneaking their view points into a children's cartoon.
