Mention modern and old comparisons
Ducks - Kate Beaton
Ducks is hefty at 436 pages, its published by Drawn and Quarterly. The story spans two years in the life of Kate as she works away from home in various oil mines in Canada. It details the difficulties Beaton (and the few other women on the site) deal with daily; from misogynistic comments to sexual abuse and rape.
It's Lonely at the Centre of the Earth - Zoe Thorogood
This book is 196 pages and published by Image, it feels like quite a different book to what they usually put put, which is interesting. It's a very gritty portrayal of Thorogood's experiences with depression and anxiety. Portrayed in an abstract way which is very effective. It sometimes dips back into childhood memories, but mostly is real time counting down to an event.
Fun Home - Alison Bechdel
Fun Home comes in at 240 pages, and is published by Jonathan Cape; it feels very in keeping with their other work. Fun Home spans a long timeline, from Alisons childhood through her college years sand beyond. Its a very personal look into family life, and doesn't always focus on one topic, rather a general look at Bechdel's life, which really helps you feel like you know her.
