Gay Comix also served as a source for information about non-mainstream LGBT-themed comics and events. Autobiographical themes include falling in love, coming out, repression, and sex. Much of the early content was autobiographical, but more diverse themes were explored in later editions. Created by Howard Cruse, Gay Comix featured the work of primarily gay and lesbian cartoonists. The photographs include at least one image of a hermaphroditic woman who appears in some of the accompanying stories.Gay Comix (later spelled Gay Comics) is an underground comics series published from 1980–1998. The collection's photographs and magazine clippings appear to have been used as models for some of the sketches and artwork. There are also loose, miscellaneous illustrations in the collection with no correlating story. All include accompanying hand-drawn illustrations. Most stories are handwritten in the style of a graphic novel some are typed. Two of the four sketchbooks include drafts of multiple storylines. The stories included in the collection range in length from one page to 46 pages. Also includes some amateur pornographic photography and magazine clippings. The stories and illustrations appear to be the work of a single individual, with nearly all narrative told from a female's point of view. This collection contains an archive of original illustrations, four sketchbooks, and erotic stories, depicting transgressive sex acts including (but not limited to) lesbian and heterosexual sex, incest, pedophilia, sadomassochistic behavior, and copulation with objects as varied as sex toys, produce, and household appliances.
