Comic Book Gay is Comic Book Guy's cousin, whom he heavily resembles. Comic Book Gay, however, has a fancy brown handle-bar mustache and a light green shirt with blue pants instead of a blue shirt with red pants, like Comic Book Guy. As questioned by Homer, Comic Book Gay does in fact love comic books "of a certain kind". Also, he seemed to immediately answer to Homer that he is not his cousin, leading to the belief that many people mistake him for Comic Book Guy.
