Notes on This Title

The Outfield was a monthly comic feature on Outsports.com from 2002-2009. The collected edition of The Outfield includes all 73 comics from Outsports, as well as extra sports-themed comics from Edwards’ other series.

The comics do not have a continuous storyline or recurring characters. However, every comic centers queer issues or queer experiences.

A couple of comics address homophobia in a lighthearted and humorous manner.
