Boy's life: Ninth Art also talks with cartoonist David Kelly about the 10th anniversary of the Boy Trouble anthology, and the relative lack of gay comics:

"I seem to notice more gay titles now than even a few years ago, probably because groups like Prism Comics promote the visibility of gay creators. When Rob and I were putting together BOY TROUBLE #4 in 2000, we were hard-pressed to identify many current gay-themed comics. Most are self-published, and for creators to get them out periodically requires a lot of time, organization, and financial investment.

"I think this probably accounts for why gay-oriented comics do not appear as often as they might; they do not have the support of comic book publishers. Self-publishers like Tim Fish and Paige Braddock are to be commended for getting quality issues of their respective comic books out on a regular basis."
