From 1969 to 1970, Womack developed the "Black Knight Classics" imprint. Carrying the subtitle "Classics of the Homosexual Underground", the stories published under this label were purported to be classic works of gay erotica which were clandestinely passed from hand-to-hand among gay men in decades prior, though many were in fact of recent vintage.

Herman Lynn Womack (1923–1985) was an American publisher, and the founder of Guild Press, a Washington, D.C., publishing house that catered almost exclusively to a gay male audience and played a major role in expanding the legal protections for gay publications against obscenity laws in the United States.
