Today, my review of Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg’s The Plain Janes – available for under $10 through MINX (DC Comics) - appeared at The Graphic Classroom where I just raved and raved and raved.
The Plain Janes deals with the fear of contemporary terrorism, what stringent regulation and isolation and unhappiness results from said fear, and the young adults’ role in so big a societal quandary. As many are on the brink of leaving their homes for colleges, for exercising their independence, such reading probably inspires at least some thought about one’s place in the bigger picture.
