Review: The Sticky collection

Artist(s): Dale Lazarov, Steve MacIsaac.

As had been announced a few months ago, writer Dale Lazarov and artist Steve MacIsaac’s erotic mini-series Sticky has been collected by publisher Bruno Gmünder (the 80-page book is available from Amazon or other booksellers). I’ve already reviewed the three issues, all included in the collection. Apart from the fact that this will be a far more durable (and of course, printed on a far better paper) presentation for the series than the comics from Eros (which doesn’t seem to know how to sell gay porn), it also boasts four all-new all-color pages, which cleverly show the guys from the cover having fun together, and frame the three main stories.

It must also be noticed that on the first framing page, one of the guys sports a tee-shirt with the Miracleman logo (one of the great series written by Alan Moore).
I’m very happy that this intelligent and elegant erotic series has found a permanent home. I don’t know what Dale Lazarov is doing right now (although I hope we’ll see more of his writing), but Steve MacIsaac has already self-published a new comic, Shirtlifter, which I’ve reviewed here.

Update 05/11: Dale Lazarov’s added a comment:
“Two more volumes of STICKY with two new artists in the same mode, one of a new series of gay erotic comics with a fantasy flavor, and two volumes of long stories that don’t fall into a series should come out next year. :) More details in the fall :)
Also — The “Ape Sex” t-shirt on the taller guy in the first framing page is a reference to LOVE & ROCKETS.”
