Fans of Tim Fish's gay romance comic Cavalcade of Boys thought they saw the last of those characters when the series came to a conclusion. However, the series is making a return this week with the debut of a weekly comic strip that will follow characters from the original series (including Tighe, who was also the focus of Cavalcade prequel Strugglers). Boston's LGBT paper Bay Windows will begin publishing the strip beginning this Thursday, July 5.

If you haven't sampled Fish's work in the past, this strip is a good opportunity to get a taste for his style of storytelling and eye-catching art. You won't need to be familiar with the earlier Cavalcade of Boys series to enjoy the new edition, as the Cavalcade strip will feature a stand-alone story that won't require knowledge of the previous series.

We previously reviewed and loved Fish's Young Bottoms in Love. Personally, Cavalcade of Boys was one of my favorite comics, a series that had endearing characters and compelling storylines to go with Fish's energetic, emotive art. Cavalcade is a well-suited to become a weekly serial, and I can't wait to get to see the latest version.
