And here is Tim Fish’s latest and last issue of his series The Cavalcade of Boys.
Tim Fish seems to want to branch out, and he gives some of his characters a sense of closure – including a definitive closure for one who dies, in a very nasty and very funny story.
Another story sees Warren, a high-energy recurring character, get his comeuppance when a guy he’d tricked come back… and confess his love for Warren!
The last story showcases Eric, the young guy from previous issues, and the choice he makes between a roommate of his and Tighe, whom he’s been going out with for a few months. Romance fills the air, and Fish’s art, as expressive as ever, gives us a large array of gay guys, with a majority of rather slender bodies it must be said.
As sad as I am to see Tim Fish deciding to (at least for now) stop this series, I’m glad that he wants to keep on diversifying his work. And you can see him often in the Young Bottoms in Love online anthology.
UP. 06/2010: these comics are out-of-print, but a collection of Cavalcade of Boys is available, for example at Amazon
