QCA Art: MANLY

MANLY is an 80-page pornographic comic illustrated by famed homoerotica illustrator Amy Colburn and written by Dale Lazarov.
The comic features three differenct scenarios: In BUSTED, a studly blonde apparently cruising a public restroom trips a hippy chased by a handsome federal agent. After the two men are awarded medals, they sneak away to the blonde man’s barn where fun with handcuffs turns into sucking and hot flip fuck action with lots of facials.
In CLINCH, a young Latino boxer enters a gym to discover his childhood boxing icon is the owner. The men spar and end up locked in each other’s arms. Eventually the musclebear and young jock head to the back office to enjoy some cuddling, delicious oral and jerkoff action.
Lastly, in HOT LIBRARIAN a newcomer in a leather-bear bar finds himself feeling like an outcast. Another man standing quietly in the corner does not respond to his advances. That is, until the young man discovers him working as a librarian. The two engage in intense body worship and flip fucking, dousing each other in round after round of cum-spraying orgasms.
Except for titles and a few signs in English, the comic book has no words at all, which places the focus on the art and action instead. The sex definitely sizzles, though the superhero bodies, ginormous cocks, and geyser sprays of jism can seem hot or hilarious, depending on your tastes. But what’s more compelling are the genuine moments of tenderness and vulnerability between the couples: two men share a beer and a smoke on the terrace, each alone in his thoughts; two boxers admire each other’s skill as much as they adore each other’s bodies; a closer look shows that the man in the corner at the bear bar isn’t as disinterested as he first appeared.
Colburn’s facial expressions are to die for, as are the scenes of post-coital awkwardness authored by Dale Lazarov. Those moments illustrate the heart of what MANLY is about—men expressing genuine feelings of kinship through sex.
We’ll be doing an interview with the artist Amy Colburn very soon, so check back for that. In the meanwhile, there are more great pictures of HOT LIBRARIAN after the jump!
