![]() ![]() Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values. Since 1996 Robbins has been writing histories of once-forgotten early 20th century women cartoonists. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. In 1972 she was one of ten women who formed the Wimmen’s Comix Collective to produce Wimmen’s Comix, still the longest-lasting all-woman comic book anthology, running from 1972 to 1992. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. ![]()

Have these gigs been a different experience from the Shepherd’s Bush show a couple of years back? I didn’t think that it was going to be like that, I thought there might be a bit of applause, but people have really travelled from far and wide to come and see it and I haven’t seen a negative response yet on email, or Facebook, or whatever and the whole thing’s just been totally overwhelming. ![]() I’ve just been overwhelmed by the response from the audiences.

When Lia Lee entered the American medical system, diagnosed as an epileptic, her story became a tragic case history of cultural miscommunication. ![]() Lia's pediatricians, Neil Ernst and his wife, Peggy Philip, cleaved just as strongly to another tradition: that of Western medicine. The Hmong, traditionally close-knit, have been less amenable to assimilation than most immigrants, adhering steadfastly to the rituals and beliefs of their ancestors. Lia's parents, Foua and Nao Kao, were part of a large Hmong community in Merced, refugees from the CIA-run "Quiet War" in Laos. When three-month-old Lia Lee arrived at the county hospital emergency room in Merced, California, a chain of events was set in motion from which neither she nor her parents nor her doctors would ever recover.

Shocked and dislocated by the fact of young, willful death, the boys are increasingly fascinated as the always strict and secretive Lisbon family goes into a kind of cold storage (the other girls eventually withdraw from school), and the house is let go into decrepitude (the boys, using binoculars from up in a treehouse, can see that the other girls have turned Cecilia's bedroom into a shrine). A group of teenage boys in a Detroit suburb have come under the siren spell of a group of like-aged sisters, the Lisbon girls, the eldest of whom, Cecilia, has killed herself by jumping out a bedroom window onto a fence.

I was disappointed, however, with how undeveloped a character Irene Adler is her presence was so limited that it almost wouldn't have made a difference if she had been eliminated from the plot altogether. ![]() I appreciated Evaline Stoker's love for and appreciation of her family, even when they frustrated her it made her a more sympathetic character.

It's a paranormal steampunk YA mystery with a dash of time travel. Imagine a cross between 's and 's, and that's a bit what The Clockwork Scarab is like. ![]() |
