review 1: No Straight Lines is a comic collection/retrospective of gay comics and they're evolution along the years. It follows very closely the correlation of gay political feeling and social and societal change. From the sexual revolution in the 60's and 70's to the AiDs crisis of the 80's and 90's up to today's social media trends and the increase in awareness of trans issues. I especially liked the exposure and range of artists genres and topics, I like getting exposed to artists I've never heard of and seeing new sides of artists I'm familiar with, I would highly recommend this one.
review 2: I finally finished reading this fantastic anthology, which I borrowed from the library along with a bunch of others from a reading list put together for the various LGBTQ panel... mores at the recent Denver Comic Con. I think I need to buy a copy of this (It retails for just $35, which is an amazing deal!). I will be busy adding further reading to my to-read list for a while now. No Straight Lines is the most well-rounded, culturally and historically significant anthology of comics or queer writings I've found anywhere, period. less
