STUCK RUBBER BABY Howard Cruse
Originally published by DC comics in 1995. In the 1960s American South, a young gas station attendant named Toland Polk is rejected from the Army draft for admitting ‘homosexual tendencies’, and falls in with a close-knit group of young locals yearning to break from the conformity of their hometown through civil rights activism, folk music and the upstart community of race-mixing gay-friendly nightclubs.
