Erotic comics are as old as comics themselves. While comics were thought of as the medium of adolescents for much of the twentieth century, erotic work has always permeated the form. Jon Macy has curated a show featuring the work of over thirty contemporary artists. Some are known for their erotic work and others are known for more mainstream work and their erotic work is rarely seen. Both art and artists span a wide array of genders, orientations, races and ages. A broad spectrum of tastes and styles are sure to provide something for any viewer.

Jon Macy is a local erotic comic artist known for his work in gay porn magazines, as well as his series Fearful Hunter and his recent Lambda Literary Award winning graphic novel Teleny and Camille.

The schedule is as follows:

Friday, October 7 from 6 to 9pm: “The Dirty Comics Show” opens
