Homosexuality in Comic Books. This week we welcome Steve D from the Comic Book Queers Podcast, to talk about the roles of Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual and Transgender characters in mainstream comics. Northstar, the Rawhide Kid, Rene Montoya and others have led the way for mainstream publishers to represent the Gay community. Have they done a good job? Is there more work ahead? Has it caused problems and what is the fan reaction? We also go over the weeks news as well as Top of the Stack. Don't miss this fantastic, intelligent and fun discussion, you won't find on any other podcast. HDicon.gif Download this Episode IPODicon.gif Subscribe to our iTunes Feed
