Tales of the Closet

Johanna of Comics Worth Reading points out the return of the landmark gay teen comic series Tales of the Closet. Nine issues were released from 1986 to 1993, but those are long out of print. The promised tenth and final issue was never published.

In this Usenet thread, creator Ivan Velez, Jr. reveals that the new Tales of the Closet will collect the published issues in three compendium issues, while the fourth will contain the 80-page finale that would have been issue #10.

PlanetBronx.com will eventually have more info about the series, but right now there's not much to see.

(via Cognitive Dissonance. I've been reading Johanna's reviews and writings online since Usenet days. What's odd is that I always have problems remembering that Cognitive Dissonance the name of Johanna's blog. I can remember that she writes Comics Worth Reading, but just barely. I guess to me the "brand" is "Johanna Draper Carlson". It's not an issue with other bloggers, because I discovered the author through the blog, but with Johanna it's the other way around.)
