Malarkey #4
Malarkey #4 https://buff.ly/36aXpdS
is a 28-page, digest size, full color, autobio comic written and illustrated by
November Garcia. Published by Birdcage Bottom Books.
In the pages of Malarkey #4 November shares several
personal stories. Among her confessionals is one story about becoming obsessive
over a band discovered a little late in life and another, which all comic
creators will relate to, is about taking the plunge into comics and not getting
the expected splash you anticipated! November goes on to offer travel tips from
Tokyo and a not so romantic look at the loss of virginity while avoiding frogs!
She continues by providing a brief look at the lengths her mother and others will
go to for beauty, and the long shadow religious indoctrination casts. November
closes things out by offering some words of advice to her younger self!
The stories are all written and drawn in a lighthearted manner that
keeps the comic fun and upbeat, even when dealing with some self-deprecating subjects.
The colors really work throughout this comic. At times color is only used as a
background while at others it’s used to frame and bring attention to the
subject. The palette also varies from pale tones that almost fade from notice
to patches of vibrant and clashing hues that grabs your attention!
