Once again Rob Clough reviews a Sparkplug Mini! Hungry Summer by Asher Z Craw is one of our latest releases, and we are cheered by Rob’s apt writing! Here is an excerpt:
“Craw’s quasi-autobiographical comic, Zebediah, was an
unpredictable, absorbing and ultimately humane fantasy account of how he
came to understand his nature as a trans person. Hungry Summer
covers some of the same territory with regard to gender and identity
through magical realism, but this time the focus is entirely different.
The main character of the comic is a bike-riding, shape-changing Baba
Yaga, the Eastern European supernatural figure. Always an ambiguous
figure, encounters with her often result in both good and ill.“
