This facsimile volume collects all 10 issues of THING magazine, a seminal queer Black publication from early ’90s Chicago. Founded by Robert Ford, it chronicled the city’s house music scene, ball culture, and AIDS activism. Bold and ahead of its time, THING blended art, politics, and nightlife, amplifying Black queer voices too often overlooked in mainstream narratives.
