A feature-length documentary film-in-progress chronicling the birth and development of LGBTQ comics through the eyes of several of its pioneers.

[MostraFIRE!!] The queer underground comics is the protagonist of this interesting film in which five of the pioneering cartoonists, like Howard Cruse, reflect on the evolution of comics in parallel with the activist movements or AIDS pandemic. However, there is no cohesion between the other elements that the director introduces, which don't fit properly even through constant background music that is exasperating.
