Once upon a time, in a high school in Queens, eight kids with nothing in common but a fear of their own identities unite against all odds and become friends. Winner of the 2004 Xeric Award, the classic series returns bigger and better than ever. Join Mary, Kyle, Shorty, Ben, Scotland, Tony, Jenny and Ramona as they brace together against a world that doesn't understand. Poignant, funny, melodramatic, gritty, sad, and most of all, addictive. Created in 1986 by Ivan Velez Jr as one of the first interventions for LGBTI+ youth and hosted by the famed groundbreaking social service agency, Hetrick-Martin Institute, this comic series went all over the world and pioneered the genre of Queer YA comics.
