We finally got in a small stock of the 2022 edition of this collection of autobiographical comics made by Angela Fanche between 2018 and 2020.
It is a fairly unique edition that is printed and bound in a manner that traces itself back to the Japanese tradition known as fukuro-toji. whereby the comics are printed on only one side of each piece of paper, which is then folded over before binding. This is a nice feature as it prevents image bleed through.
5.5" x 6.5", 112 pages
silkscreen cover, black & white risograph interiors
And, it got a lot of love from fellow NYC-area creators upon its release:
"Angela's comics are so mysterious and dramatic and dark and deep, and there isn't the slightest hint of inauthenticity in any of them ever, which is why I love them." – Gabrielle Bell
"It is our good fortune to be reading now, at the beginning of her career; we can look forward to many years of her life being shared with us. Her work is pure energy. She has that thing all artists want but few have." – Laura Lannes
"Angela Fanche is one of my favorite cartoonists. Her work has wedged its way deep into my consiouslness and I often find myslf asking what she would do when I'm staring at my own page. How would she face it? What's the tone? How would she render? I'm not proud of this but I'm not ashamed either; you have to bow before a star when in the presence of its rare light." – Josh Bayer
"While Angela Fanche's diary comics record her life (like any other diary would), it's how she draws events that give these entries an incredible power. The truth of a night our, a conversation with a roommate, the first day of a new job: the underlying and pulsating true feeling that you can only pick up on if you were truly alive and there – Angela's comics bring you that through shadow and gesticulating torsos. But, the figures she draws aren't in allegiance with the factual past. This book is concerned with something else: the poetic reality of a day that can never be repeated, except in panels drawn by Fanche." – Austin English
