This edition includes eight pages of new material. Long respected as one of the finest and most original of today's underground comics artists, Gloeckner shows both technical artistry and tremendous range -- from her sly, lurid, and brilliantly colored posters for rock groups to her textbook-quality medical illustrations; from her sharp naturalistic juxtapositions for "The Atrocity Exhibition" (J.G. Ballard) to the signature comics for which she is best known. Pages include both black and white and color, some that were published before in obscure comic books, and some of her classics in addition to new stories. In detailed, nuanced, panels, these strips depict the isolation, horror, and disappointment -- but also the revolutionary, transformative power -- of young women trapped in circumstances ringed with drugs and sexual abuse. Gloeckner continues as a major literary and visual artist. |
