[guessing at the star rating / mining my old FB notes now that they are almost impossible to find]

this was not so much a graphic novel as an anthology of barry's comics from the 80's. i used to read her all the time back then, so it was a nostalgic experience. it made me realize how comics are an immediate medium and comment on current events versus novels which usually have more timeless themes.
