NEW! Review of the entire Go-Go Girl series at iCOMICS.

GO-GO GIRL #1

"A too-cool hipster, Go-Go Girl always wears her boots,
a miniskirt, and cat-eye shades. She also has really
bad luck at the laundromat; although she meets guys,
they turn out to be losers in various ways, even the guy
in a band. Unexpected plot twists and punchlines are
conveyed in this mini through design-inspired strong
black and white line art. Recommended for anyone
whoever was intrigued by urban life or the Rat Pack."

GO-GO GIRL #2

"Hip fun, as a monster roams the town feeding on
overdone hair the night before the Governor's Ball.
Ever since living in Texas, Land of Big Hair, I find some
women's obsession with teases and flips amusing. This
comic works as adventure, parody, and flat-out humor.
The simple clean look keeps the events front and center.
It's got a deceptive simplicity that shows real talent."

GO-GO GIRL #3

"Go-Go Girl has spent all her money trying to win a cereal contest for a date with a dreamy musician. When she's called to babysit, events spiral into confusion in classic sitcom style, complicated by a tiny tyrant who deserves more of a comeuppance than he gets. The second piece is a short two pages, perfectly capturing the down-at-heels hipster lifestyle that Go-Go Girl represents. The timing's well-done and the punchline a hoot. It's a great summation of the whole character and concept. The last story has our heroine wondering if she's gained magic powers when desirable men start appearing at her finger snaps. Not only is her costume -- boots, miniskirt, and cat-eye shades -- timeless, so are these plots. The fun is how they're carried out with verve and a strong, classic design sense."

CRASH: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF A GERM

"For a pub that treats Germs’ frontman Darby Crash as more than a punk rock casualty, pick up CRASH. This insightful piece of sequential art goes behind the scenes of the LA punk scene of the late 70s to unearth the inter-band friendships and simmering homophobic tensions of that era — both of which played a part in Crash’s conflicted tenure with the seminal Angeleno band. Don’t worry about being too young to understand this tale; creator Craig Bostick relays such a compelling story of Crash’s struggles that you’ll share a tear with the Go-Gos’ Jane Wiedlin in the comic’s last frame."
