YA. Graphic Novel. Prior to cartoonist Megan Kelso's long-awaited 2022 release, Who Will Make the Pancakes, Kelso spent six years creating her first long-form graphic novel, 2010's Artichoke Tales. The book, a fantastic family saga spanning three generations and an entire continent, was a critical smash named to many "Best of 2010" lists. Fantagraphics is proud to bring this perennial classic back in print with a new paperback edition. Artichoke Tales is a coming-of-age story about a young girl named Brigitte whose family is caught between the two warring sides of a civil war. It takes place in a world that echoes our own, but whose people have artichoke leaves instead of hair. Influenced in equal parts by Little House on the Prairie, The Thorn Birds, Dharma Bums, and Cold Mountain, Kelso weaves a moving story about family amidst war. Kelso's visual storytelling uniquely combines delicate linework with rhythmic page compositions, creating a dramatic tension between intimate, ruminative character studies and the unflinching depiction of the consequences of war and carnage, lending cohesion and resonance to a generational epic. 16 yrs+… (más)

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss.

This was an epic tale covering the life of Brigitte, her mother and how the Civil War that tore their land apart started.

The cute factor of the people may make you think this book is for children but it's definitely an adult book. I also had trouble differentiating characters from time to time.

Brigitte learns her countries history and tries to make sense of her decision to follow someone from the North at the same timer. Her mother also tried to make things work with someone from the North. It's interesting to see the parallels between Brigitte and her mother and Brigitte's grandmother's anger puts an interesting spin on things. ( )
