ESS DYKES TO WATCH OUT FOR

Excellent book.

This was fun to read. As someone who didn't grow up in north america and does not have much knowledge of the queer movement of the 80's and 90's, this was really interesting to read. Queer and funny and full of insights. This collection is lighthearted and silly and purposeful and loaded at the same time.

And there they are on pages 76-77, the first DTWOF strips I ever saw. They were in a student run women's paper in the Fall of 1991, I had just arrived at the university and my life was about to change for the better. Therefore, it's impossible for me to be completely objective when I talk about this strip and its brilliant creator (channeler?), Alison Bechdel. At first I didn't know what to make of the strip - I feel like I walked through my first two decades in a haze because I was not used to a comic strip dramedy. It didn't take me long to fall in love with it. I bought all the collections that were available at the time (three books!), saw Bechdel's slide show when she came around to my school and even wrote her a letter - and she responded. I still have that letter. It's great to see so many strips reproduced here, forming a running narrative of twenty years in the lives of the characters. Not all of the strips are here nor are the nifty little supplements that the older books included but for the first time reader, I don't think they'll feel the loss. They can also go and seek out some of the older books for completion. This is one of the best graphic arts collections of the year.

Divertido culebrón lésbico editado en una magnífica edición que recopila la larga trayectoria de la tira cómica de Alison Bechdel. Decenas de personajes interaccionando de forma real, con un toque cómico, y un análisis de las relaciones sentimentales, de amistad y laborales conforman el 'Moeverso', la parcela de realidad que rodea a la protagonista Moe, alter ego de la autora. En definitiva, obra recomendable para cualquier amante del cómic independientemente de su inclinación sexual.

I love this set if Cartoons. As a gay woman it is refreshing to read a clever, funny and political set of graphic stories. The characters are a blast from the past and after a few pages I was hooked. This is a must for any lesbian who wants to spend some time reflecting on the lesbian library verses the pub. Excellent writing at times laugh out loud a comic time machine. The drawings are fantastic the characters feel like old friends. Read it she is fantastic.
