by Gabrielle Bell and Ariel Schrag and Daniel Clowes and Joe Matt and Cole Johnson and Jim Hoover and Vanessa Davis and Robyn Chapman and Aaron Renier and Dash Shaw and Eric Enright and Lauren Weinstein and Nicholas Eliopulos and Ariel Bordeaux and Valerie Schrag and Jace Smith and Tania Schrag
A very unscientific poll recently revealed that 99.9% of all people who attended middle school hated it. Fortunately, some of those people have grown up to be clever and talented comic artists, with an important message to share: Everyone can survive middle school! Edited by underground comics icon Ariel Schrag, this anthology of illustrated tales about the agonies and triumphs of seventh and eight grade features some of America's leading graphic novelists, including Daniel Clowes, Joe Matt, Lauren Weinstein, and Ariel herself. With a sense of humor as refreshing as it is bitingly honest, seventeen artists share their stories of first love, bullying, zits, and all the things that make middle school the worst years of our lives.
