It IS good for the 80's!!! It's too bad I was already out of high school when this comic came out...I would have probably bought each and every one.

And been out of the closet a LOT sooner!

Sorry you didn't think the review was positive, Ivan!

I certainly intended it to be! Heck, that's why I picked Tales of the Closet to be the first work featured, because I like it a lot. The commenters so far seem to think the book sounds good!

Velez's run on Ghost Rider was terrible even by the standard of other Ghost Rider runs, but this sounds more up to par.

It was the Katie Perry version. I just thought it was fitting to mention. I agree with the folks that have issues with it. Was just weird it came on right as I clicked the link.

To think that the only Velez comic I've read features Venom disguised as a nun.

Thanks for posting this. I read the first chapter on the site and really enjoyed it; I want to read the rest of the book now.

Looking forward to the rest of the month!

â€œI kissed a girlâ€ came on the radio as I clicked this link.

Wait, the Katie Perry version, or the Jill Sobule version? If it's the former, I'll have to agree with Dan.

" "I kissed a girlâ€ came on the radio as I clicked this link."

Ugh. That song is so offensive and regressive.

Good choice on the theme, Brian. I'm looking forward to the rest of the entries.

Huh, I had no idea this comic existed, but I'll definitely be checking it out. Good idea for a theme, Brian.

Yeah, when you factor in the year it was released, Tales of the Closet is truly a remarkable comic.

Pretty impressive that this came out was produced in the 80s...comics weren't quite as gay friendly as they are now.

Nice choice for this months theme. Feel free to go back to the political cartoonists down the road though.
