Spectrum by Joe Palmer, posted March 16th, 2010
(This is a most-excellent interview of Sean McGrath by Joe Palmer of the Gay League, a most-excellent website and blog. Both Joe and Sean are longtime valued friends and associates of Prism so we were thrilled to be able to reprint this interview, courtesy of Joe. Access the original article from the Gay League website here!) Recently I had the pleasure to read Frater Mine, an indy series written by Sean McGrath. McGrath’s writing and characters intrigued me, and while I knew… [More…]

JUST SO YOU KNOW #1
Color Commentary by Lacy Telles, posted March 13th, 2010
Just so you know, Joey Alison Sayers is a transgender comic book creator who started out as a cross dresser, then transitioned, and is now a transsexual. If you have any confusion about the meaning of each word, she has oh so kindly provided brief definitions of each on the last page of her book. Just So You Know #1 is an autobiographical account of Joey Sayers' life between Winter of 2003 and Fall of 2008. Considering it is less than 20 pages long, it is clearly a concise, selective… [More…]

TRISTAN AND ISOLDE, SITTING IN A TREE....
Queer Eye on Comics by Mark Phillips, posted March 7th, 2010
(Editor's Note: Due to a mix-up by Ye Olde Editor here, this very timely Valentine's Day article did not post on said day. My apologies to the writer and audience, but...really, if we can only celebrate our love one day a year, shouldn't we rethink our relationship? It's not that I'm breaking up with you, maybe we should rethink this. Don't be sad. We'll always have Naboo...) February 14th. Valentine's Day. The one day each year which we associate exclusively with true love,… [More…]

DIRK THE DEMON
Queer Eye on Comics by Scott Anderson, posted February 28th, 2010
Today I’m reviewing Dirk the Demon, another comic found in Supermen: The First Wave of Comic Book Heroes 1936 – 1941. As I noted in my last article about the comics of this era, they’re a little more violent and less kid-friendly than you might expect. And Dirk, a vicious young drag queen, is no exception. Well, he may not be a drag queen, but if he isn’t, he’s needs to stop going to Betty Grable's hair dresser and put on some clothes that don’t look like they’re… [More…]

AM I BLUE?
Queer Eye on Comics by Kyle Minor, posted February 21st, 2010
AM I BLUE? by Kyle Minor Hello old friends and new enemies! Kyle here reporting in from distant San Francisco, and... I have a confession. I finally did it. Made the leap. Took the plunge. Bit the bullet. Grinned and bore it. Took it like a man. Closed my eyes and thought of England. No, I didn't get my perineum pierced... I finally went to see Avatar last night! And believe you me -- it is everything they say it is! Unfortunately, that mostly means it was predictable, ironically… [More…]

DON’T BE FOOLED—FULL FAT CONTENT LIES WITHIN
Color Commentary by Kate McCabe, posted February 18th, 2010
The graphic novel Skim, the effort of Canadian cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki has already been heartily praised. Originally published in 2005, it’s been an Eisner Award nominee, the recipient of an Ignatz Award, and is recommended reading by the CCBC (Cooperative Children’s Book Center). If you were to piece those accolades together, you might assume that this is an exceptional independently published coming-of-age story. You would be right. I was a teen girl once (believe it!) and… [More…]

ENQUEERING MINDS WANT TO KNOW
Queer Eye on Comics by Mark Phillips, posted February 14th, 2010
There is a daily threat to all of us that has never fully been examined. Something that threatens our sanity and our health hour by hour. What's the issue? No one is physically able to purchase their groceries anymore without being confronted by the tabloids at the front counter. It just can't happen. And if you are honest, even if you don't buy them, you at least love to laugh and snort at the headlines. Dog Man gives birth to hamster. Starlet shows nipples during kindergarten play. … [More…]

CAN WE SKIP TO THE PART OF THE CONVERSATION WHERE I GET MY WAY?

Can We Skip to the Part of the Conversation Where I Get My Way? is a 44-page print collection of Tony Breed's webcomic Finn and Charlie are Hitched, about a couple of guys who have been together for about 10 years. As you might expect from the title, the series focuses on Finn and Charlie and their domestic life, showcasing the kind of interactions and conversations that only two people who know each other inside-and-out can have. Finn and Charlie seem very comfortable together, despite… [More…]
