2. "A Monty" (Zak Sally) online
New 20-page comic by cartoonist and musician Zak (SAMMY THE MOUSE) Sally. I'm not sure if this is a genre that Sally has explored before, but this memoir of the Summer of '78 is very well done. And, by "well done", I mean exploring some hard truths about the way people acted in the 70s and 80s toward "others". The thing that Sally really nails is the social dynamics of the period, the victims themselves kind of joining in on the feeding frenzy against anyone perceived as different.
The art is very detailed, stark black inks with ethereal blue backgrounds. Sally really succeeds at bringing us back in time with him and allowing us to experience his memory along with him.
