Girl Town is an anthology of comics by Caolyn Nowak, who I'd not previously heard of but who is apparently low key famous in comic circles and it was recommended to me by someone, can't remember who, on the basis that I like comics and this is kinda feminist and I've been known to read feminist stuff... Dunno. It did seem like a legit recommendation though.
So the first thing that struck me was the art, which is really cool. I know zero about comic book art, so I can only really say that I liked it, not why I liked it. I guess it was really colourful and fun and lent something to the stories.
The stories themselves were odd, really. They started up with virtually no introduction and ended suddenly with no resolution. They were really eclectic too, but all focussed on women/girls and the kind of stuff they're going through. I'm pretty sure I liked them. In fact I'm sure I did. The random starting/ending points were odd though. Kind of like vignettes I guess?
The book is also really short - I read it in about half an hour. It's not a criticism of the author, but something to be aware of if you're buying it hoping to get value for money (I think I paid seven quid for it).
