“Black Gay Boy Fantasy is about Neil Jordan, a big, black, gay, boy who becomes an gay rights activist in Washington, DC. The comic is in three chapters. Chapter [one] covers a little about his life growing up, his involvement in activism and getting a crush on a fellow activist. Chapter two covers Neil going on what he thinks is a date with Imu at a local coffee shop. Chapter three has him reconnecting with a childhood friend, Zelda, who knew he was gay and had a crush on her older brother.” Read Patti Martinson’s whole review on Sequential Tart

“I’d like to see more and I hope Northwest Press publishes more. Hodge has a light and playful style and obviously has a lot more to tell. Hodge’s art is another draw for me. It’s expressive and playful reminding me of Donna Barr’s work mixed with Sam Henderson’s expressive wild style.” Read Paul Houston’s whole review on Coverless Reviews

INTERVIEWS:
Interview with Outlook Columbus — “The bottom line? This book is fun. It’s unique, academic and sexy. Teleny and Camille is far and away the most innovative gay novel of the past few years. I caught up with other Jon Macy to talk about his creation.” — Mackenzie Worrall
Interview on The Feast of Fun podcast — “Based on Teleny, the secret round-robin novel written by Oscar Wilde and his anonymous circle of friends, the classic work of erotica is now visually re-interpreted by Macy in all its lush, sexual excess. Join us as we take a look at the origins of modern gay culture in Victorian England, the origins of one guy one jar, the complicated man that was Oscar Wilde and how to cruise for sex in ye merrie olde England.”
Inspired by shounen-ai manga—melodramatic Japanese comics by girls about gay boys—Tough Love is a teen romance and coming-out story about a shy boy named Brian. More realistic than Japanese manga, this story centers on the relationships Brian develops with the boy he likes, Chris, and Julie, the girl who befriends him. Serious issues like gay bashing, suicide, and coming to terms with one’s own sexual identity are depicted with an honest, gentle touch. Socially relevant, fun, immediately accessible, and a bit of a soap opera, Tough Love helps gay teenagers to be more comfortable with themselves and less troubled, especially when they’re feeling alone and misunderstood.
A burly man with a secret shows up in Albuquerque with more questions than answers and tangles with… the oversharing barista? This is the first in a new superhero comic series, introducing the characters and story.
