  (#15) Hopeless Savages

  • Comic Book Series

  Jen Van Meter's Hopeless Savages looks at homosexuality in possibly the most progressive way to date: by not really addressing it. Because the character Twitch's homosexuality is not regarded as a particularly controversial topic, it's allowed to be part of the norm - which it should be.

  (#17) Love & Rockets

  Marcie and Patty's relationship from the classic series is just as relevant and progressive thirty years after its original release. How's that for good storytelling?

  Howard Cruse's monumental tribute to the journey of a freshly out youngster in the civil rights-era deep south is a must read for anyone struggling in the closet as well as anyone who has ever wanted insight into such a deeply personal issue.
