DATES is an anthology of queer historical fiction. In this exciting second volume, themed around the idea of progress, travel in time as far back as a drinking contest in Mesopotamia during Hammurabi's reign, or as recently as a small highway town in late-1950s USA.

Featuring the talents of 35 creators in 17 comics, 18 full-color illustrations, and 2 short prose stories, this 268-page, perfect-bound paperback book tells the story of queer people making change in their lives and their communities, throughout time and across the world.
