Macy's first series,
Tropo, was part of the early 1990s black and white
alternative comics boom. It was followed by the erotic horror series
Nefarismo, published October 1994 – October 1995 by
Eros Comix. These stories contained dark and
surreal motifs, mixing
eroticism with
hallucination and
death/
rebirth, a common theme in Macy's personal works. Throughout the 1990s, Macy contributed to queer comics anthologies
Meatmen and
Gay Comics, and gay skin magazines such as
Steam by
Scott O'Hara,
Bunkhouse and
International Leatherman. His work on
Meatmen included a short story entitled "Tail". Gilad Padva argues in his academic paper "Dreamboys, Meatmen and Werewolves: Visualizing Erotic Identities in All-male Comic Strips" (2005) that Macy's "Tail" eroticizes and politicizes
Sigmund Freud's homophobic myth of the
Wolf Man. After a hiatus of eight years, during which time he worked on his graphic novel
Teleny and Camille, Macy began publishing again with an autobiographical story, "Crazy in Bed", published in
Robert Kirby's anthology
The Book of Boy Trouble, Vol. 2. He has since collaborated with various established and independent gay cartoonists, including Sina Evil and
Justin Hall. In 2010, Macy's
Teleny and Camille was published by Northwest Press, a graphic adaptation of the classic anonymous erotic novel
Teleny, attributed to be a collaboration between
Oscar Wilde and other writers he knew.
Teleny and Camille then was awarded the 2011
Lambda Literary Award for Gay Erotica. An excerpt was featured in
Teleny Revisited, a special issue of
The Oscholars. Also in 2010, he, Diego Gomez and Fred Noland contributed to Justin Hall's
Glamazonia: The Uncanny Super Tranny. It was a finalist for the 2011
Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction. After the first three issues were published, this title was picked up by
Northwest Press, who hosted a
Kickstarter fundraiser in April 2014 to publish a compiled anthology including the final previously unpublished fourth issue.
Fearful Hunter won the
Prism Comics Queer Press Grant in 2010. He has contributed to many anthologies including Justin Hall's
No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics and Robert Kirby's
Qu33r. He was co-editor, with Tara Madison Avery, of
ALPHABET: the LGBTQAIU creators from Prism Comics. ALPHABET was a finalist for the 2017
Lambda Literary Award for Anthology.
Djuna was a finalist for the 2025
Lambda Literary Award for Bisexual Nonfiction. ==Bibliography==
