In this collection of 20 comic strips, Lynda Barry wrestles with some of hers in her.

The result is simultaneously poignant and hilarious-never one at the expense of the other-and so are her loopy, sure-lined drawings, which make both the kids and the adults look as awkward and scrunched-up as they feel. Buddhism teaches that each person must overcome 100 demons in a lifetime. Barry's demons are the personal objects and effects that remind her of the in-between emotional states from her early life. The structure of the book is a drawing exercise that allows a hundred demons to flow out of the artist's pen onto paper. Here, though, Barry gets a chance to stretch out, drawing out her memories and impressions into long, lively, sometimes sweet and sometimes painful narrative sequences on a seemingly endless list of curiously compelling topics: the scents of people's houses (one is 'a combination of mint, tangerines, and library books'), dropping acid at 16 with a grocery bagger, the colors of head lice and the art of domesticating abused shelter dogs. Inspired by a sixteenth-century Zen monk s painting of a hundred demons chasing each other across a long scroll, acclaimed cartoonist Lynda Barry confronts. The semi-autobiographical vignettes of this new work, originally serialized in Salon, follow the same basic format as the strip: blocks of enthusiastic first-person commentary at the top of each panel, squiggly, childlike-but stylized-drawings and dizzy word-balloon dialogue between the characters. collects Absolute Carnage: Symbiote of Vengeance 1 Ghost Rider (2019) 1-7 Ghost Rider 2099 1 King in Black: Ghost Rider 1 Spirits of Ghost Rider: Mother of Demons 1 material from Incoming 1, Marvel Comics Presents 6. Childhood's cruelties and pleasures, remembered in luminous, unsparing detail, have become the central topic of her work. Knows, Barry has a pitch-perfect sense of the way kids talk and think.
