So, another young, female artist with a past at the Comic Art School of Malmö... Well, I'm damn well gonna review her book anyway, and I'm gonna like it. So there!
Lina Neidestam has been making her comic strip Zelda since 2007 and it has been published all over the place, so it was about time we got a collection. The art has evolved these past few years, and its quite obvious that Neidestam has had to redraw the very early strips, but the humour has thankfully stayed the same. The irreverent take on feminism that Neidestam shows in Zelda is, well... liberating and it was quite some time since I laughed out loud as much as I did when reading this book. I also keep rereading strips aloud to my fiancé. Come to think of it, I'll let her do the review today:
Hanna Peterson: THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING!!
