Meatmen: An Anthology of Gay Male Comics is a series of paperback books collecting short comics featuring gay and bisexual male characters. The comics included a mixture of explicit erotica and humor. [1] [2] Between 1986 and 2004, 26 black-and-white volumes of the series (160–200 pages each) were published by Leyland Publications, making it the longest-running anthology of gay male pornographic comics. [3]
During its run, the series was said to feature "every gay male cartoonist of note who has worked since the 1970s". [2] Cartoonists whose work was featured include:
In 2001, copies of Meatmen vol. 18 and 24 [4] imported by Little Sister's bookstore of Vancouver, British Columbia were classified as "obscene" and seized by Canada Customs. [5] [6] This led to the case Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium v Canada, which was eventually decided by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007. [4]
