COME OVER COME OVER - ILLUSTRATIONS, BLACK AND WHITE
Lynda Barry is one of the great contemporary American authors, published
for nearly half a century in the United States. Editions here and there have published in
2014 his strips My hundred demons!, but the series Ernie Pook's Comeek, his work
major, published between 1979 and 2008, remained unpublished in French. Come over Come
over is the first collection dedicated to this series. It contains strips
originally published between 1988 and 1990 and centered on the characters of
Maybonne and her little sister Marlys. Maybonne, 14, tells of her anxieties,
his joys and insecurities, through pages of his diary,
excerpts from homework or even letters to loved ones. The little girl
Maybonne's sister, Marlys, is both prodigiously annoying and adorable, and
never misses an opportunity to secretly read his eldest's diary
sister.
In this masterful series about childhood, Lynda Barry skillfully depicts the
The fickle nature of teenage friendships and the 'kill or die' atmosphere
killed" from the social scene of her heroine's high school. Lynda Barry describes in her
inimitable style the grandiose magic and the excruciating pain of adolescence.
