Talk about a long time coming!  Maurice Vellekoop has, for over 35 years now, been known – and celebrated – for his playfully homoerotic comics and illustration work, but I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together is his first full-length comics work – and full-length it is!  Running close to 500 pages, this massive hardcover graphic memoir is packed with gorgeous comics tracing the travails, traumas and triumphs of the intertwined flowering of the author's life and sexuality, from his earliest memories all the way up to the present day.

"This book is a colossal achievement, perfect for those of us who search 'real life' for the perfection we find in Art." – Jillian Tamaki

"I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together is that rearest of things: a book about coming out to a loving yet conservative familly that is as heartrending to read as it is to look at.  It is an incredibly moving, funny and ultimately triumpahnt account (spoiler alert!) of what can only be described as a magical fairy tale (pun intended!)
