The June Comic Book Book Club is diving into the world of SNAGGLEPUSS by Mark Russell - and let me tell you, it's a doozy! We're talking Red Scare in the 1950s, Hollywood Black List, and a Tennessee Williams-esque Snagglepuss leading a secret gay life. And that's just the beginning - Huckleberry Hound is giving us major Truman Capote vibes, Quick Draw McGraw makes an appearance, and Squiddly Diddly is in on the action too.
But this comic isn't just about the hunt for communists - it's also shining a light on the struggles of gay Americans and their treatment as degenerates. It's heartbreaking to see characters hiding their true selves due to fear and shame, whether it's for their sexual orientation or political beliefs.
Join us on June 15th at 7pm with our special guest author Mark Russell to talk about his work!
