Review: Flinch #7: ‘Parade’

Artist(s): Devin Grayson, Phil Jimenez.

Flinch was a horror anthology published by DC Comics/Vertigo from 1999 to 2000. It lasted 16 issues, and was never collected. Parade, one of the (short) stories in the seventh issue, was gay-themed.

Halloween on Castro Street. A 40ish man is chasing after his son and runs into friends from his past. From when he was gay. From before he went straight and betrayed his friends. This being published in a horror anthology, he won’t get off that easily. Devin Grayson writes a chilling story here, and Phil Jimenez’s artwork is suitably realistic and creepy at the same time.
