Assorted Baggage is a square formatted collection of 52 one (mostly) and two-page strips. Each square page is subdivided into four square panels. There are four sections, each of which involves a transformation of the (duck) protagonist. All are brightly colored in four colors: Purple, pink, blue and yellow. None include any text. The strong constraints make for a visually stimulating rebusoid narrative that's fun to puzzle out. The cover image is representative of the art inside.
Monster is a spare, 192 page (extremely pale) full color graphic novel published in a nice, 5" x 8", French-flapped, softcover edition by Black Eye Books in Canada, who have this to say about it:
"Back in town after what seems like a blur, our protagonist meets a friend of a friend who seems more than interested in her, much to her astonishment. If only this strange fog didn’t follow her everywhere. If only she could stop having those dreams. Monster is a lyrical reflection — told in vignettes, memories, and moments — on love gained and love lost."
A working through trauma in comics.
