Guy Colwell Livres

Guy Colwell’s 1970s underground comic book series Inner City Romance tread new territory: it was filled with stories about prison, black culture, ghetto life, the sex trade, and radical activism. It portrayed the unpleasant realities of life in the inner city, where opportunities were limited and being on the lowest end of the economic ladder meant that one’s vision of the American dream was more about survival than lifestyle choices. Every issue of Inner City Romance is included in this collection, as well as many of the highly detailed paintings Colwell created at the time. In an accompanying text piece, Colwell provides context for the material.

The narrative follows a fox on a journey to regain his freedom, serving as a timeless parable about self-discovery and authenticity. Suitable for readers of all ages, it explores themes of individuality and the importance of staying true to oneself amidst challenges.
