Sticky is the groundbreaking collection of character based, body-positive tales of man-on-man carnality and sweetness written by Dale Lazarov and drawn by Steve MacIsaac – now in its 10th anniversary of publication! TimeOut Chicago says “carnality and sweetness is the exactly the right combination that makes Sticky a real standout in the genre. Readers will find the material is hot and unabashedly romantic.” Pop Matters notes that “by abandoning political screeds or stories about shame, secrets, family acceptance, and all the other storylines that are used over and over again, Sticky makes a powerful political this is normal.” Sticky features several comic stories that, while incredibly hot and masculine, show how gay men not only just hook they connect. In “Hold On”, a casual street fair hook up between two hot guys turns into an extended challenge to see how far they can go while delaying climax. And they go pretty far! “Talk Show Queers” looks into what happens to the gorgeous gay rodeo star after he’s been brutally dumped by a boyfriend who declares himself straight in front of a talk show the cowboy gets picked up by the hot, burly security guy sitting front row center. Naturally, they get down to some sticky business… In “Treats”, a hot, butch pirate and a muscle-bound monk meet at a grad school Halloween party. Trick or treat? Both, if it’s good! Unzipped “What’s cool about [Sticky’s] man-on-man comic action is that it’s not just hot, it’s also friendly, and, well, versatile.”
