The greatest of Marlys
The greatest of Marlys | Lynda Barry
3 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
She's back! This is a Lynda Barry double-tall: the long-awaited collection of the best strips from her syndicated comics. Way back in the mid-1980s, comic illustrator and writer Lynda Barry introduced the character of Marlys Mullen, her crazy groovy teenage sister Maybonne, her sensitive and strange little brother Freddie, a mother like no other, and an array of cousins and friends from the 'hood. This oversized book presents the long strange journey through puberty and life that Marlys and company have experienced. Marlys's universe and galaxy are funny, rude, disturbing, tearful . . . in short, very, very Lynda Barry.

This was the kid everybody talked about in school. Not for being mischievous or anything like that but, for having something going on every day. Shoot, she is the most interesting kid in the world😃 and I like her.

Lynda Barry is so great. (The four-panel strip, Marlys‘ Guide to Queers, 1991) is reprinted in Hillary Chute‘s Why Comics.)
