| The GirlFrenzy
Millennial is a Girl’s Annual gone BAD. The format of old-fashioned
annuals like Diana and Girl have been plundered and the pages
re-filled with a glorious medley of comic strip artwork, photostories and
articles by hot writers– some renowned and some unknown beyond the zine
arena. |

free gift of a menstrual calendar!
.
"This
bumper edition of the cult comic book for grown-up girls represents a timely
makeover for the girls' annual of old. There are no teen idols or eye-shadow
tips, but there are comic strips about everything from the family to sexual
experimentation, many with an ironic nod to Bunty, Diana or Jackie. Find
out if you really want to live with your boyfriend, see Bike Girl D-Lock
a BMW driver in the photo-story and learn how to make your own nipple tassles.
You can even 'menstruate into the millennium' with the free gift of a 28-day
calendar that covers the next three years."
--The
Guardian
GirlFrenzy magazine has
been published since 1991 and has consistently been a popular and unique
forum for the work of female comic strip artists, women musicians, riot-grrrls
and anti-censorship feminists. This chunky book showcases brand new material
and combines the feistiness of a zine with the nostalgia of an old-fashioned
annual. Ideal reading matter for Grown-up Girls and The Odd Boy.

How Midge
becomes the Bitchy Bitch that she is today.
Fourth book in the 'Naughty
Bits' series.
"School
Daze" will enlighten and crack you up! Gregory is the godmother of feminine
alternative comix and every issue of her "Naughty Bits" comic(from which
"School Daze" is drawn) is a pure laugh-your-ass off delight; an offer
you surely MUST not refuse! |
|
|
|
| From
her first work "Damsels In Distress" with her sisterhood/superdyke phase
in full swing, Gregory has grown and broadened her perspective to the point
where "School Daze" can be recommended enthusiastically to open-minded
people of all persuasions over the age of 16. A marvelous addition to an
already incredibly impressive body of work. Roberta rules! |
