Synopsis
The re-release of Debbie Drechsler's first collection of short comic stories, Daddy's Girl. Her account of her father's abuse, told from the point of view of an adolescent, is one of the most honest, empathetic and profoundly disturbing uses of the comic medium in its history. With the recent critical and commercial success of mature and uncompromising works by women cartoonists such as Fun Home, We Are On Our Own and Persepolis, Daddy's Girl should find a responsive readership.
