Sticky Pages By Steve MacIsaac
I had the privilege to run in to Steve MacIsaac, a Canadian cartoonist and artist at The Eagle last weekend. Steve was in town for the Alternative Press Expo, a forum for zines, comics and art outside the mainstream spectrum. His style reminds me of artists as diverse as Daniel Clowes, Alan Moore and Tom of Finland but there's also a very personal element that goes beyond comparison.
I picked up a copy of "Sticky" at the convention released by German publishing patron of all things gay, Bruno Gmünder. It's a combined effort of MacIsaac and writer Dale Lazarov with a wordless narrative that tells of everyday, and not so everyday, sexual situations. And commendably, the characters actually uses condoms for buttfucking. "Sticky" is definitely a one-handed read that'll make you want to pick up a copy of right now.
Steve was at the convention with a group called "Prism Comics", a nonprofit organization that supports LGBT comics. Have a look at their website, and unless you're a closeted breeder, there's most likely something to your liking.
