Cover of The Brothers of New Essex by Belasco

Belasco began producing homoerotic art in 1991, published in small-press magazines such as Thing, Kick, and JFY magazine. He then created the covers for the first few B-Boys Blues books by James Earl Hardy.[1] Meanwhile, he began self-publishing erotic comic books, and produced regular erotic strips for GBM magazine. It was in these comics that he introduced his signature character Boo: a muscular, sexually dominant, gay African-American construction worker in the tradition of Tom of Finland's work.[2]

His work has been featured in the Meatmen series of books of gay erotic comics. His short story "Punks: Featuring a Bruh Named Boo" was included in Last Gasp's Best Erotic Comics 2008,[3] and "Th' Flood Gates" was included in Best Erotic Comics 2009.[4] His work has been commissioned by the Black Wrestling Network, featuring original artwork based on existing wrestlers and fantasy wrestling matches between celebrities.[5]

In 2000, Cleis Press published The Brothers of New Essex, a 200-page collection of his comics. This was followed in 2011 by Boo and the Bruthas from Magnus Books.[6][7]

Personal life

Belasco lives in Los Angeles.[6]
