Review:
This is a collection of personal and semi-autobiographical stories that draw heavily on the details of the artist's childhood and adolescence. These stories capture everything from the heartbreak of dealing with an estranged family member to a biography of Alexander Hamilton. I like the idea of America and American history being exposed in such a racy way. There were a few times where I felt like I was punched in the guts unexpectedly. Kelso has long been a cartoonist of note in the worlds of mini-comics and alternative comics anthologies and I hope she now will get some mainstream publicity.artist site: http://www.girlhero.com/
