Emil Ferris created a comic about a wolf girl, drawn with pens on a notebook. The first book went around the world, was covered in awards and made it into all the lists of the best comics of the 21st century.
“I am a shy person; I just want to be at home and work. So… I withdrew,” she confesses. Now its second part (published by Reservoir books) closes (although it leaves many fronts open) Karen's story. ‘I'm glad she had the opportunity to find love in a way that she is scary: she loved her mother and her mother left her,’ Ferris says of Karen Reyes, the main character in her new book, What I Like Most Are Monsters, which is out in paperback on September 14. The book is visually more organized and florid and the contortions of the pen assault the reader almost on every page. It's like a family dinner: if you bring up a topic you don't want them to ignore it, she says.
