Gordon Spurlock

July 27, 2024 Gordon Spurlock, the primary artist of Minotaur Comics, began drawing anthro comics and pinups in the 1970s, long before finding his way into furry fandom. His self-published graphic novel, Spike (1994), was concerned with the sex lives and political sensibilities of a group of working class gay men in the Chicago area. Gorilla Friday (1987; published 2000) is a non-erotic interspecies love story. His other characters include Gustav and Lionel, a leather/S&M couple, and a nameless Lion whose wordless erotic adventures in the veldt are a feature of Spurlock's self-published anthology comic, Labyrinth Comics/Portfolio.

Spurlock, under the pseudonym 'Flatrat', began posting his erotic artwork online in 2006.
