One of my closest friends, comics scholar & excellent human being Caitlin McGurk has spent years researching and curating Tell Me A Story Where The Bad Girl Wins: The Life And Art Of Barbara Shermund, which is open for preorders now from Fantagraphics!

“Readers will discover Shermund’s unique and vibrant life and art, and gain an understanding of how women’s place in the history of cartooning has been controlled and sublimated by greater societal and cultural allowances. Through close readings, archival research, reproductions of original art, correspondence and photographs, this volume uncovers and celebrates a trailblazing female magazine cartoonist, and rightfully places her in the canon of cartoon art history.”
