Meatmen: An Anthology of Gay Male Comics is a series of paperback books collecting short comics featuring gay and bisexual male characters. The comics included a mixture of explicit erotica and humor.[1][2] Between 1986 and 2004, 26 160-page black-and-white volumes of the series were published by Leyland Publications, making it the longest-running anthology of gay male pornographic comics.[3] During its run, the series featured "every gay male cartoonist of note who has worked since the 1970s".[2] Cartoonists whose work was featured include Donelan, Tim Barela, Belasco, Bruce Billings, John Blackburn, Howard Cruse, Kurt Erichsen, Etienne, Patrick Fillion, The Hun, Jeffrey A. Krell, Jon Macy, Jerry Mills, Al Shapiro, Tom of Finland, Robert Triptow, Vaughn, Zack, Stepan Zubinski

In 2001, copies of Meatmen vol. 18 and 24[4] imported by Little Sister's bookstore of Vancouver, British Columbia were classified as "obscene" and seized by Canada Customs,[5][6] leading to Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium v Canada, a case eventually decided by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007.[4]
