CAVALCADE OF BOYS each volume is perfect bound and printed in digest-size format (8.25"x5.75").
Synopsis: The critically acclaimed gay romance series by Tim Fish joyfully and painfully follows lonely heart Tighe (from STRUGGLERS), irrespressible Warren, obsessive Stanley, and a large cast of young gay men as they live and love. Solicit: Responding to the sold-out success of its three volume trade paperback, Cavalcade of Boys, Poison Press proudly re-prints Cavalcade, now as a single book and featuring some exclusive new material too! This gay romance series of creator Tim Fish (I ♥ Marvel, Strugglers) has received the attention of critics and fans alike. Cavalcade is both funny and painfully “real,” and Fish’s grounded dialogue and eye-pleasing art breathe life into the characters as they grow with each vignette and experience. Don’t be fooled by its gay-themed genre—Cavalcade has a loyal female readership too. The 550+ page collection includes every Cavalcade story published, plus the original covers, and the French editions cover art. Exclusive material includes several pages of liner notes, Cavalcade sketches, a preview of Fish’s OGN Strugglers (a prequel to Cavalcade), and pin up pages. Book Jacket: Why does Tighe always wind up either dating jerks or being one? Is Sam way too hot to snare Eric? Will Warren’s crazed enthusiasm doom his chance for love? Cavalcade of Boys welcomes the reader on a journey into the lives and loves of several young gay men drawn from the imagination of artist and author Tim Fish (I ♥ Marvel and Strugglers). From the humorous (“The Boy Whose Phone Couldn’t Make Outgoing Calls”) to the tragic (“Sometimes Love Isn’t Enough”), each vignette touchingly romps through modern love . This edition combines in one book the complete multi-volume series previously published. “Well-drawn and well-written, with believable characters stuck in all-too-real psychodramas.” Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Sensational Spider-Man “Fish’s warmth, honesty and commitment to the characters pays off: the more particular and unique these individuals become, the more touchingly universal they feel.” Jen Van Meter, Hopeless Savages “I’d definitely recommend Cavalcade not just for its verisimilitude but for its entertaining stories and attractive artwork.” The Fourth RailAvailability: Advanced sales from indie distributors. Full press release and art for these books are available upon request.
