Summary

"Queer Print Power" explores the vital role LGBTQ+ comic publishing houses play in shaping cultural expression and driving social change. These independent publishers have provided platforms for marginalized voices, challenging mainstream narratives through visual storytelling and expanding the boundaries of comic art. The book reveals how these houses act as incubators of queer culture, fostering representation and impacting social movements. Did you know that these publishing houses have not only promoted diverse identities but have also actively shaped queer history and the evolution of comics?

 
The book progresses across three key sections. It begins by establishing foundational concepts and tracing the historical development of LGBTQ+ comic publishing, from its underground comix roots to its contemporary forms. It then delves into specific publishing houses across different regions, analyzing their unique approaches to content creation, distribution, and community engagement. Case studies illustrate diverse strategies used to overcome challenges and promote their work. Finally, the book synthesizes findings to demonstrate the broader implications for cultural expression, social activism, and the future of the comics industry, considering the impact of digital platforms on queer representation.

 
The book’s unique approach lies in its focus on the publishing houses themselves, offering a broader understanding of the systemic factors that shape LGBTQ+ representation.

    For a tour of noir cinema, No Daylight in That Face is the perfect companion, and Barry Gifford is an ideal guide. His choice selection of films exposes the menacing, moody, and oftentimes violent underbelly of this dark movie genre that occupies a favorite niche in American popular culture. Some are classics, some are little known and seldom seen, but all, once viewed, are deeply remembered by aficionados of noir. Gifford's roll call of unforgettables includes these, and more: The Asphalt Jungle, Body and Soul, Body Heat, Charley Varrick, Chinatown, The Devil Thumbs a Ride, D.O.A., Double Indemnity, High Sierra, Key Largo, Kiss of Death, Mean Streets, Mildred Pierce, Mr. Majestyk, Out of the Past, The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Strangers on a Train, and White Heat. 
 
 
 
Gifford identifies the directors and names the many noir stars, the greats and not-so-greats who were cast in the indelible roles of hoods, B-girls, psychopaths, grifters, gumshoes, waifs, tarts, femme fatales, mobsters, molls, and ex-cons. 
 
 
 
With a connoisseur's insight and an offbeat sensitivity perfectly tailored to his subjects, Gifford's brief essays cover a hundred of the noir buff's favorites. His highly polished impressions take the listener through five decades of noir to find both the heart and the art of the plotline.
