Fast Friends Hardcover – Illustrated, 12 Feb. 2015

This is Michael Broderick's first comic book that tells a single story, here written by Dale Lazarov, and it will hardly need recommending for those who have the two volumes already published. A lot of the pages are given over to sex, but where his previous books consisted of 'snapshots' that suggested a narrative of which this was the single dirtiest moment, here it is filled out, and has a very romantic pull as well as a blatantly erotic one. The images are in soft tones and have quite a dreamy feel as it takes you though the events of a single evening in snow-bound New York. The lack of dialogues makes it quite original, as the story is surprisingly elaborate, but it gives a purity to the medium. Sometimes you have to look for a while to pick up all the narrative clues, making it a bit like doing a jigsaw ( but not too hard ...). Basically it is about a young man and one about forty, who are both treated less than sensitively by their lovers - one of these is married in any case - who meet by chance and discover what seems to be the real thing. Their sexual encounter is very appealing if you like the style, and Broderick's way of getting facial expressions is a great enhancement. He's a kind of modern Michelangelo of gay comics.

I love this short graphic novel. Yes, it is a gay, erotic story but please don't disregard this book because of that. The story comes through so powerfully, it is emotional, honest and also intimate. The art is beautiful and the book quality is excellent... I am PROUD to have this on my bookshelf. Open your heart to this graphic love story, you won't be disappointed.

The illustrations in this book are very well done. I like the fact that it is all illustrations and no words, it paints a picture in your mind to which you can insert your own dialogue using your imagination. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is into adult books and looking to be naughty.WARNING THIS IS AN ADULT BOOK

Una vez más nos sorprendemos por Dale y la editorial Bruno, ahora con una obra del gran dibujante Michel Broderick.

Very touching story. Great art. Love it. I go back to it again and again when I feel down, This book lifts my spirit.

A very nicely drawn book that is very sexually explicit , although I had a hard time following the story (there are no captions) the first time through. However, it made sense after a few more viewings.
