Painstakingly researched and exquisitely illustrated, Stuck Rubber Baby is a groundbreaking graphic novel that draws on Howard Cruse's experience coming of age and coming out in 1960s Birmingham, Alabama.

This 25th anniversary edition brings this rich and moving tale of identity and resistance is back in print--complete with an updated introduction from Alison Bechdel, rare photographs, and unpublished archival material that give a thorough, behind-the-scenes look at this graphic novel masterpiece.

As a young gay man leading a closeted life in the 1960s American South, Toland Polk tries his best to keep a low profile. He's aware of the racial injustice all around him--the segregationist politicians, the corrupt cops, the violent Klan members--but he feels powerless to make a difference. That all changes when he crosses paths with an impassioned coed named Ginger Raines.

Ginger introduces him to a lively and diverse group of civil rights activists, folk singers, and night club performers--men and women who live authentically despite the conformist values of their hometown. Emboldened by this new community, Toland joins the local protests and even finds the courage to venture into a gay bar.

No longer content to stay on the sidelines, Toland joins his friends as they fight against bigotry. But in Clayfield, Alabama, that can be dangerous--even deadly.

Love!
Color: Embossed Leather - Tan
Surprisingly good quality. My boyfriend loves that you can take out the smaller bifold piece and use it on its own if needed - a 2 in 1.

Great quality, Highly Impressed!
Size: 12, Color: Light Brown
These are of great quality and surprisingly comfortable. This is my first pair of HEYDUDE. I am really impressed! They are true to size. They fit my wide feet without any issues and they are my new absolute favorites! Super lightweight, extra stylish with the platform lift, and completely worth it. The color matches the photos.

Slip on shoe love
Size: 9, Color: Black/Black, Size: 9, Color: Black/Black
These are a more narrow fit so if you are a wide fit girlie or you don’t like tight fitting shoes you might want to try to size up or try to find something that has a wide version. But I love them super cute and absolutely great quality..skip on and slip off love it!!! I will be looking into a different color,I got black for work ..but they are comfortable . Update-after wearing the black suede for a few days I purchased the brown suede as well.... And I can say they do loosen up a little still a a narrow fit but not right feeling.

Walking on clouds…
Size: 6, Color: Blush, Size: 6, Color: Blush
The most comfortable shoes I have ever had. Usually I wear size 6,5 -7. I followed recommendations and order size 6. It was a perfect fit. It was ideal for my problematic wide feet. The shoes are light weight and well made. They look great and feel as cozy as slippers. Absolutely love them and strongly recommend to go size down as I did.

Comfort and fashion collide
Size: 7, Color: Brown Leopard
These platform mules meet the following three criteria points: fashionable, comfortable, and affordable. I wear them all day thanks to the great arch support. In fact, I have three pairs in multiple colors. I normally wear a 7.5 but sized down to 7 after trying a 7 and 8.
