Be Your Own Backing Band by Liz Prince

October 29, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The author, Liz Prince, has become a reading staple of late. I have read most (if not all) that is  out there (minus a few things she just illustrated). But when I got Be Your Own Backing Band, I felt that Prince might have had one of her best collections yet. But then again, she could probably write a phone book and I would read it. After I finished, I said, “Keep on coming with the cool and goodness!” This is a look at how […]

Look Back and Laugh by Liz Prince

October 21, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A while back I read the graphic novel, Tomboy by Liz Prince. It was a fun memoir about being a kid that made me wonder about adult Liz. Who is she now? Or at least when her works were published. I found 2018 as the most recent autobiographical work, 2023 for Science Comics: Frogs: Awesome Amphibians (from First Second) and Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 1 in 2024 with other contributors.  Adult Liz is not much different than kid Liz. A bit awkward, weird, funny, has […]

Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir by Liz Prince

September 3, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I almost did not read the graphic novel, Tomboy: A Graphic Memoir. I had seen it on lists, at the library, and other places. But it never said, “Read me.” Then one day I was looking at my library’s online catalog of titles to request a book. When I clicked “place hold” and it was complete, a list of suggested books appeared to read while waiting for the request you put in. One was Tomboy. I figured that if I had been getting signs saying […]
