Howard Cruse
Stuck Rubber Baby (1995)
Published by Paradox Press (DC Comics)
The formal virtuosity of ‘Stuck Rubber Baby’, its ambitious historic sweep, its rich characters, its unflinching look at sex, race, violence, hate, and love, make it an immersive, truly novelistic reading experience in a way that’s still uncommon for graphic narrative to achieve.
—Alison Bechdel, in the introduction to the 25th anniversary edition of Howard Cruse’s Stuck Rubber Baby
