Talk:Gay Comix

Someone really needs to put up info for the rest of the Gay Comix issues!!!

Hi y'all, I'm afraid I don't have time to do it myself, but someone really needs to put up info for the rest of the Gay Comix issues, after they had changed their name to "Comics." The current page has a detailed breakdown for all issues up to #14, but barely an acknowledgement of the 11 issues that followed that under the Gay Comics name. This should be rectified ASAP. 72.250.244.226 (talk) 17:36, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Graphic novel series

What does "graphic novel series" mean? Does it refer to an anthology? 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 23:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

It's a series of graphic novels, AFAIK, the best works from the comic are put into a number of graphic novels. But i've never read them, is purely based on what the source says.YobMod 12:55, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the original comic mag was an anthology, and it's also confusing on how the works are "anthologized in a series". I'll try to look it up, I wouldn't consider an anthology a graphic novel, but would reserve that term for a longer coherent story. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 08:55, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Gay Comics is the 1989 single-volume anthology of works excerpted primarily from Gay Comix but also from other sources. "The material ranges from single-panel jokes to short excerpts of longer stories to several-page stories" (Rothschild). It is not a graphic novel series, nor is it a mag.

Table of contents, listing the artists

I'm new to this, and obviously need advice on wiki guidelines.

I added the table of contents for the one issue held by the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History Archives, since I happened to be looking at it the other day. I thought documenting the authors who contributed to this publication might be of interest to someone. However, the data I added was deleted pretty soon after I entered it.

I was called out on verifiability, but for most of these people there is no online record of these contributions. I was looking at the primary source material. The lack of Internet information about these people's contributions made me think it would be even more important to document.

I was also called out on notability, but how is that determined?

Contents of issue #5

• Milo Poulson: Family Sundays
• M. J. Goldberg: It's a Disease Nobody's Talking about: I'ts Attitude
• Tim Barela: Leonard & Larry, Revenge of the Yenta
• Roberta Gregory: Just Because
• Richard Valley: Binnie Blinkers
• Vaughn Frick: Watch Out
• Demian: Zen and the Art of Bush Sex or Do you cum here often?
• Michele Lloyd: Mesozoic Rescue, starring Spike, Punk Dyke
• T. O. Sylvester: Simply Beastly
• Jerry Mills: Poppers
• Howard Cruse: Cabbage Patch Clone
• R. Campbell: Better Games
• Robert Triptow: When Worlds Collide
• Camper: Hot Summer Night

Thanks for any insight.

The "verifiability" objection was off-base: the contents of the comic are easily verified by looking at a copy, of which there are many to be found. (It doesn't have to be verifiable online, as some people confusedly believe.)

But Wikipedia isn't intended to be a complete archive of all information; if it was, there'd be too much to dig thru. So it has a policy of notability, which helps us decide what to include and what not to include. So is issue #5 that much more significant than the other issues? Or should the other 24 issues be catalogued, (in which case a complete listing would be pages long, which is arguably too long for an article)? -Jason A. Quest (talk) 20:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
