2013 Toronto Comic Arts Festival

dalelazarov:

Here’s a PDF of “Comics Made Me Gay”, the NSFW comics essay form of a talk/presentation that I did at the 2012 Toronto Comics Art Festival. [resharing 10 hours later so more people see it]

“Comics Made Me Gay” illustrates and explains how and why the comics/sequential art form is uniquely suited for representing both the objective and subjective experience of homoeroticism. It features both panel excerpts and full comics page samples from classic superhero comics, from Tom of Finland gay erotic comics and from contemporary gay and gay erotic illustrators and cartoonists.

“Comics Made Me Gay” has got multiple safe and not safe for work images and language so use your best judgment about when and where to read it. It’s formatted in tablet-friendly 2048h x 1536w portrait dimensions.

As Dale states, this is a PDF version of the talk he intended to give at TCAF 2012. Unfortunately some technical errors resulted in the images not being displayed, but we’re so fortunate that he agreed to put together this PDF which includes all of the images and many of the key points he discussed.

This links to a very NSFW PDF, but it is a funny, charming collection of ideas and images on the subject of homosexuality and comics, and we recommend checking it out if you can.

My thanks to Dale Lazarov, and his interviewer Brad Frasier.
