bibliogrammaInvasion of the Dykes to Watch Out For, Alison Bechdel
Bechdel is a genius. But than, you all knew that, already, didn't you? For more than 20 years now, Bechdel has been showing us what America looks like through the eyes and experiences of a group of gender outlaws - the Dykes to Watch Out For and their friends, lovers and families. This latest volume looks at how the Dykes are dealing with the war on terror, the debate over same-sex marriage, and all the other major issues facing America in the early years of the 21st century, while struggling to manage all the weaknesses that the flesh is heir to in their own lives, and trying to find a little happiness here and there amidst all that's going on around them.
