Sweaty Palms: The Anthology About Anxiety, Volume Two by Sage Coffey
5.0
I am sick to death of graphic novel memoirs; the genre is just saturated, and I wish people would just put their graphic novels in SPACE, for the love of God! And I've never had much luck with comix anthologies.
So color me surprised when I found this collection (a) delightful, and (b) insightful! I was like, what more can be said about anxiety? That garden weed of a mental illness, always springing up everywhere? What could I possibly want to hear about it? And for so many pages?!
And yet - it was so good! And such varied voices and experiences! I was moved! I started keeping a list of the artists that I particularly liked, so I could look them up elsewhere, and that list... well, it got VERY long.
