Boys

Ron Rege Jr

To my mind, Boys remains one of the most perfect comic books ever published. It is a single object that encapsulates an entire sensibility in 24 pages. The front cover — hand drawn but consciously designed; looking less like a comic and more like a zine of my dreams — opens to a scrappy title page and Regé and Reidy's yearbook photos are printed on the inside covers. Twenty comic strips later and we're done.
