- Race relations, Gay men, Civil rights, Comic books, strips
A truly eye-opening comic. The story is set in the South in the early '60s and deals with homophobia, racism and the gay subculture of that period. The art is absolutely beautiful; Cruse is a master of the cross-hatching technique, which gives a certain "texture" to his art work and brings his pages to life. *Stuck Rubber Baby* is easily the most important comic book since Art Spiegelman's Maus.
