Special Guest Kayla E. This Sunday at Comic Book Club!

SPECIAL GUEST Author/Artist Kayla E. at Comic Book Club THIS Sunday, July 5th at 2:30pm!

Our club's next selection is the graphic novel, "Precious Rubbish" By Kayla E., who will join us via zoom for our meeting ! --> Description from Amazon--> 

"Kayla E.’s Precious Rubbish is an experimental graphic memoir drawn in a style that references the aesthetics of mid-century children’s comics and tells the story of a childhood shaped by maternal emotional dysregulation, rural poverty, and incest. The author’s childhood is portrayed as a collection of short-form comics and gag panels punctuated by interactive elements like paper dolls, satirical advertisements, games, and puzzles.

While the work is concerned with violence and a particularly Texan brand of Pentecostal fanaticism, it is presented in a playful visual language with a deadpan humor that elevates the material beyond mere graphic memoir. "Precious Rubbish" is a landmark work of comics storytelling and graphic medicine."

***Readers are encouraged to obtain the book from whatever source of their choice (but Please support a local bookstore iyc!) 👍 😁
