Young Lust

(From the Slings & Arrows Comic Guide)

Conceived as a hard-core spoof of romance comics, editors Bill Griffiths and Jay Kinney gradually transformed Young Lust into a rather more interesting satire on contemporary society and its sexual mores. With #2, Justin Green was added to the creative line-up, and by #4 it was successful enough to add color. The comic’s highlights include Art Spiegelman’s formalist “Little Signs Of Passion” in #4, Bill Griffith’s jaded “Too Much Fun” in #5 and Greg Irons’ despairingly autobiographical “Monkey Lust” in #6. Other noted contributors, like Spain Rodriguez (#2–8), Kim Deitch (#4, 6), Paul Mavrides (#6, 7) and Daniel Clowes (#7), helped make later issues far more essential purchases than the comic’s original premise ever suggested. ~DAR
