Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories

"One of my favoite love stories. Many times I wished that someone would make the Maggie and Hopey story into a movie, but then I think it's better in the hands of Jaime Hernandez. Locas tells the story of Maggie Chascarrillo, a bisexual, Mexican-American woman attempting to define herself in a community rife with class, race and gender issues.

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic: Alison Bechdel

1 recommendation

"Alison Bechdel's book about her childhood and her father is an important graphic novel. Comics sometimes allow their creators to explore the difficult parts of their lives and Fun House is a good example of one such exploration. WIthout giving away what the story is about, it deals with issues of sexuality, death, and growing up different."

Moby-Dick or The Whale by Herman Melville

"Universal Pictures has made a splashy preemptive buy of “Moby Dick,” a reimagining of the Herman Melville whale tale that Timur Bekmambetov (”Wanted”) will direct. Studio paid high six figures to Adam Cooper and Bill Collage to pen the screenplay. The writers revere Melville’s original text, but their graphic novel-style version will change the structure. Gone is the first-person narration by the ..."

"I'm not ashamed to say that the only reason I read this book was because it's by Wes Anderson's brother (fanboyish, I know- I'm okay with that). But, this isn't a Billy Carter ordeal. Eric Chase is equally as talented as his brother, but also, it's enjoyably transparent that the two came from the same gene pool. It's a quirky story of a naval drop out and his, somewhat ridiculous, adventure to sto..."

"This book just broke my heart. And I mean that in the best possible way. It's a touching tale about friendship and letting go. I loved the illustration style, whimsical and fun, the perfect counterpoint to the plot. There's no lesson to be gleaned, or easy happy endings, just life soldiering on with maybe a little solace to be found by the sea. It's a beautiful and perfect book that might just lea..."
