I have a new m/m romance YA title coming out from Harmony Ink soon (probably August) and I just got a final cover for it. The story follows two best friends from the time they meet in second grade though high school. One of them is an artist and the other is a star wrestler and budding writer. They create a Tumblr comic book series called "Pin Man and Pencil Boy" together, which is what the cover represents.
Here's the blurb:
SUPERHERO:
It’s not easy for a young gay artist like Jordan Carson to grow up in Jefferson, Wisconsin, where all anyone seems to care about in middle school and high school are the school sports teams. But Jordan was lucky. He met Owen Nelson in the second grade, and they’ve been BFFs ever since. Owen is a big, beautiful blond and their school’s champion wrestler. No one messes with Owen, or with anyone close to him, and he bucks popular opinion by keeping Jordan as his wingman even after Jordan comes out at school.
Their friendship survives, but Jordan’s worst enemy may be himself: he can’t seem to help the fact that he is head-over-heels in love with a hopeless case—his straight friend, Owen. Owen won’t let anything take Jordan’s friendship away, but he never counted on Jordan running off to find a life of his own. Owen will have to face the nature of their relationship if he’s to win Jordan back.
