1 Grrl Scouts (4-issue mini from Oni; trade by Image).
[From Image Comics: The original Grrl Scouts mini-series is back!!!
This collection reprints the original Oni four-issue mini-series that put
hot indy creator Jim Mahfood on the map! Cute, independent, and full of
attitude, Gwen, Daphne, and Rita are three girls doing what they have to
do to survive in big bad Freak City. From expressing themselves through
graffiti or cutting loose on the dance floor, the party is always raging-
that is, until the Brotherhood of the Cracker catches wind of the good time
and decides to crack down. The Brotherhood is an evil alliance that controls
the world's power structure from behind the scenes, and they don't like
the Grrls hoarding in on their business. Before they know it, the Grrls
are being hunted by assassins and are on the run for their lives. From the
comic shop to homogenized suburbs and the ivory towers of corporate greed,
Grrl Scouts is an action-packed, hip hop comics adventure that attacks society
with both fists and never stops punching. This collection features a bonus
sketchbook section and guest pin-ups from some of the coolest creators working
in comics, including: Adam Warren, Scott Morse, Mike Huddleston, Kelley
Seda, Andi Watson, Chynna Clugston-Major, Troy Nixey, Judd Winick, Mike
Allred, Duncan Fegredo, and Christine Norrie.] |
