Her chunky, jittery black lines give her and her acquaintances a sense of weight that carries over into the gravity of their emotions. But in The Voyeurs, a collection of her short comics, she explains her life "as best she can" - in an anxious blend of mostly fact and occasional fantasy that reflects her self-analyzing thought process.
In other words, Bell's not "explaining this situation" clearly at all. "I know you must all have a lot of questions and comments but if you'll please save them until I've finished, I will try to explain this situation as best I can." With these words, cartoonist Gabrielle Bell's two-dimensional avatar - customarily the star of autobiographical stories about her itinerant, poverty-prone life as an artist - launches into a tall tale about her mother's life on the radical fringes of '70s society and her own (nonexistent) adaptation of would-be Warhol assassin Valerie Solanas' SCUM Manifesto, a(n imaginary) project so eagerly anticipated that Michelle Obama talks about it at commencement addresses. Get ready for work that will challenge and enrich you for years to come. It's easy to fill your bookshelf with mind-expanding, paradigm-shifting work and still barely scratch the surface of what's out there.īelow you'll find our attempt to delineate the tip of the art form's iceberg - 33 of the most exciting, adventurous, gorgeous, movingly written anthologies, limited series, and stand-alone stories ever drawn. And since it's largely free from the commercial demands of billion-dollar mega-industries like film, TV, music, or video games, comics offer a creative freedom that's all but unparalleled. But that's the glory of graphic novels as a form, isn't it? From North America to Europe to Japan, from superheroes to autobiography to pure poetry, from horror to comedy to drama, this medium is as varied and vital as anything else on Earth.
