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 black-and-white volumes of the series (160–200 pages each) were published by Leyland Publications, making it the longest-running anthology of gay male pornographic comics.[3]

During its run, the series was said to feature "every gay male cartoonist of note who has worked since the 1970s".[2] Cartoonists whose work was featured include:
