Tales of the Closet #1 Isolation

[shadowpsykie]

I was kinda torn as to what i should post... there was an introduction of the characters (which is what i decided to post) and then some of the interactions of the main characters. This series was published by the Hetrick-Martin Institute as part of an outreach to young Queer Youth back in... well Amazon said it was published in 2005 but that might just be the collected addition the bottom of the scan page says 1987.

It kinda reminds me of the Breakfast Club with a Queer Take.

Update: The Mods got back to me. Because of the Amazon Collection and the Ambiguity of the word "Price Optional " it was decided that I should adhere to the 1/3 rule so here are 9 pages tron 29.

















That introduces the main characters. After that they all befriend each other (well two or three here, two or three there.) It isn't until out gay guy Scottland is picked on yet again that all 1...2..3... nine of them meet up and befriend each other.






Wish I could post more but tiles are rules. The character buiiling scenes were great. So. Buy the collection at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/TALES-OF-THE-CLOSET-VOLUME/dp/097655660X

As I read the others (I only read issue #1 so far) I'll post some more moments... I have to say. So far I really love it

Would you please shrink the image above the cut, it's rather large!

Couldn't edit it down at this moment so I put it behind the cut for now

So sweet! I love these kinds of comics, no matter how cliched the whole thing is. Reminds me of back when I couldn't feel good about myself, and read about people who could get through crap better than I could with friends and lucky situations springing from unfortunate ones.

[shadowpsykie]

yeah me too.

It may be cliched, but hey it was the 80's, and also it's not like there is a surplus of this kind of stuff in comics. so when i saw it, i kinda loved it :D

[blackruzsa]

This was the 80s? Then that's awesome :D This strikes me as late 90s, early 2000s, with the tone. Still awesome.

1987, is when it started coming out. Have to assume it finished up '87 or '88.

[julian]

...Actually istr the last issue taking A Long Time to come out. BUT ANYWAY. Around then.

This was so very amateur and heartfelt but I loved it at the time and now.

And Velez needs more work. (Though he apparently did the Powerpuff Girls for Dc and an OGN in 2007.)

Man, is his website uh. Busy.
