Boy Trouble Interactive Index

This page has tables of contents and a complete index of Boy Trouble 1 through 5. The index includes creators, features, and story titles.

Please send any corrections, additions, or comments to denysh@exmsft.com. In particular I would like to know if my publication information for issue 1 is actually from a second or subsequent printing, and if so what the first-printing information is (I bought my copy about two years after it was published).

To Complete Index

This series currently comprises five issues published over 10 years. It was begun by Robert Kirby (www.curb-side.com) and he was joined as co-editor by David Kelly (www.davidkellystudio.com) beginning with issue 2.

All issues have black and white contents and at least partially color covers, and are 7" x 8.5" (except #3, which is 7" x 9"). Issues 1-4 are stapled comics and #5 is a perfect-bound paperback. Cover prices are given in U.S. dollars. Titles are supplied for untitled stories and are enclosed in square brackets.
