In his eye-opening memoir, Roberts, aka "Mad Dog," describes coming out as a gay man and treats us to a mosaic of ink stories that document the height of the San Francisco Gay Revolution. Every tattoo has a story, and Roberts' categorization of the tattoo images and their meaning in gay life is a veritable Rosetta Stone providing new insights into the great social changes that were taking place.

Mennonites. Hardworking, honest and peaceful. They keep to themselves. But now you're out and it's long after dark. No gas for your vehicle. No other drivers on the roadway. And tales of The Dutchman's Triangle to instill the fear of the unknown. There's no cell phone service, and no-one else to talk to. What secrets lie behind these cornfields? Time is slipping away and it's a long way from sunrise... Tim Brough's Mennonite Of The Living Dead, with illustrations from Arkady Roytman follows a group of teens on their way home from a class trip to an amusement park when a twist finds them alone outside of a civilized comfort zone, with only their wits and a promise of help to come. Will it be enough to survive the night?
