Founded in 2011 by Nino Giordano and Fabio Freddi, LGBT comics house Renbooks has now published its first Italian comic and has big plans for the future

A Bologna based LGBT publishing house has launched its first Italian comic – about a gay man who steals and wears women's jewelry.

Renbooks, founded in 2011 by Nino Giordano and Fabio Freddi, has just published Barba Di Perle by Florentine artist Flavia Biondi.

The reunion was captured in a fun video made Trent's best friend, Aaron (we don't know their last names!), who captured the moments of anticipation waiting for the ship to dock in San Diego and for the sailors to disembark.
