I've had the urge to dive into a new graphic novel, lately, especially one with a queer theme. I have two in mind, radically different comics, and I would appreciate any other suggestions [and discussion] of queer comics.
The two I have in mind are Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruse and Enigma, by Peter Milligan. I've heard great things about both, and I'm leaning toward Enigma, right now.
Overall, gay/homosexual themes in recent comics have kind of been a let-down. Especially if you consider Marvel's Rawhide Kid and the cancellation of Vertigo's Codename: Knockout [which was hardly great literature, but it was a fun read with interesting charcters.]
SequentialTart.com just ran an article on the difference between gay writers and straight writers handling queer characters. You can find it at:

[Dunno how to make that a link.]
So, back to my original point, any good suggestions or recommendations?
