In their current Sex Issue, the SF Bay Guardian reviewed Best Erotic Comics 2009.
Here’s a snippet of what they had to say:
“Best Erotic Comics, an annual collection of the best and brightest of kinky comics, is yet another reason to be proud of our sexy Bay Area, published as it is by legendary, local institution Last Gasp.”
Here’s the rest of the article.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see Junko Mizuno and get copies of her new book, Little Fluffy Gigolo PELU! And thanks to New People for hosting the signing! Deb Aoki wrote an article about the signing and did an interview with Junko as well. Same Hat also has some pics and a post about the signing and New People.
Here are some bits of news on S. Clay Wilson’s condition and progress from his partner Lorraine:
Hi Ron,
Thanks for forwarding all these requests about Wilson to people who are interested in visiting him. I just got back from taking him for a long walk & out to Walgreens to buy some glue. (No, he’s not drinking or sniffing it!) But he is on the fourth page for Zap. They are just great…particularly the fourth one I looked at today, which is about half done.
…
he was finally inspired to get down to work. I got him a lamp & stool for his drawing table, which really helped. I took him to the Palace of the Legion of Honor on Tuesday. I try to take him someplace really interesting at least once a week.
…
He’s able to carry on a conversation better these days, staying on topic for much longer than a couple of months ago. But he will never be the same, really. He can’t do simple problem-solving tasks, and cannot recognize something he is looking for when it is right in front of him. So he needs a lot of help.
…
but he is still very much the same old Wilson in many ways, even with his limitations. Some people who visit him only notice how much easier it is to get a word in edgewise and think he’s fine otherwise! (he is famous for having been such a motormouth, but is much quieter these days) I am actually falling in love with this new version of him all over again….this Gentler Wilson.
And Lorraine says Hustler is going to do a half-page feature on Wilson in an upcoming issue.
If you’ve found your way here looking for news about S. Clay Wilson, the good news is that he is out of the ICU. He has a long way to go, but is headed in a positive direction. The Comics Journal Message Board is probably your best source for continuing information and updates. There are two threads on Wilson there:
