1 / Meet Red Stain Press
A small press.
A very specific type.
Tender. Messy. Dramatic. Occasionally a terrible idea.
For stories that make you feel everything.
Red Stain Press is a gay-owned independent publisher devoted to boys’ love graphic novels. The publishing plans include original comics and licensed titles, in print and digital editions. The common thread? Men falling for men, and a story that makes you turn the page.
