| Résumé: | Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late '60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes, filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster magazines iconography. Karen Reyes tries to solve the murder of her enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold. When Karen's investigation takes us back to Anka's life in Nazi Germany, the reader discovers how the personal, the political, the past, and the present converge. "Once you enter Emil Ferri's spectacular eye-popping magnum opus, there is no turning back. Her were wolf-girl protagonist's spiral-bound school notebook is a visual phantasmagoria through noir Chicago streetscapes, a freakish but lovingly cross-hatched cast of characters, meticulously envisioned covers of horror comics, and all-around virtuosic drawing chops, the heroine unravels a baroque mystery whose plot pulls you forward as insistently as the images demand that you linger. This is a monster of a book, in the best possible way." Alison Bechdel, Fun Home |
