Burton Clarke is a black gay cartoonist (and actor) in the USA who's been making comics since 1981, but far as I know, there isn't a complete listing of his comics works anywhere, which is a shame. He's pretty great, so here's my index so far of comics Burton Clarke was involved with. (Note: at times I use the date Clarke writes on his work itself, rather than the publication date of the book it was in.)
1981: "Cy Ross and The S.Q. Syndrome," a five-page comic about a man who after being accused of being a snow queen (a black man who only bangs white men), tries to prove them wrong and only ends up cockblocking himself. Originally published in the New York Native, reprinted in Gay Comix #2, Meatmen Vol. 1, and No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics. (Note: online, I keep seeing people claiming the Native published this in 1980, but 1981 is the date drawn on the art itself, so that's what I'm using.)
1982: cover artist for Gay Comix #3.
1986: "the Satyr," a comic where a gaybashing gay-in-denial gets acquainted with what fear really is, and then overcomes it. Published in Gay Comix #10.
1987: art but not script for Safer Sex Comics #8, an erotic fairy tale meant to encourage condom use in gay men during the AIDS epidemic.
1992: four spot illustrations in "March Toons," advertising for the 1993 March on Washington Project in Gay Comics #17.
1996: "Someday My Prints Will Come," an autobiographical one-page comic about finding love after age forty, published in Gay Comics #25.
2014: touch-up characteriziation (unsure what that means) for Abolitionista! Vol. 1.
2015: art (of what?) for Queer Pin-Ups Card Deck sold by Northwest Press for the May 2015 Queers and Comics LGBTQ Cartoonist Conference in New York.
2016: art (of what?) for The Queer Heroes Coloring Book
2018: art (of what?) for Resistance: The LGBT Fight Against Fascism in WWII.
