Coming of age as a Fat brown girl in a white Connecticut suburb is hard. Harder when your whole life is on fire, though. A New England Book Award Winner! Charlie Vega is a lot of things. Smart. Funny. Artistic. Ambitious. Fat. People sometimes have a problem with that last one. Especially her mom. Charlie wants a good relationship with her body, but it's hard, and her mom leaving a billion weight loss shakes on her dresser doesn't help. The world and everyone in it have ideas about what she should look like: thinner, lighter, slimmer-faced, straighter-haired. Be smaller. Be whiter. Be quieter. But there's one person who's always in Charlie's corner: her best friend Amelia. Slim. Popular. Athletic. Totally dope. So when Charlie starts a tentative relationship with cute classmate Brian, the first worthwhile guy to notice her, everything is perfect until she learns one thing--he asked Amelia out first. So is she his second choice or what? Does he even really see her? Because it's time people did. A sensitive, funny, and painfully honest coming-of-age story with a wry voice and tons of chisme, Fat Chance, Charlie Vega tackles our relationships to our parents, our bodies, our cultures, and ourselves.

VIVA METAMORPHO
Format: Paperback
Okay, I was always lukewarm to Metamorpho before I read this. This reprints the roots of the character and his supporting cast, who are an essential part of these stories. Ramona Fradon's art in these stories will blow your mind, and the banter of the characters will crack you up and warm your soul. BRAVO!

Excellent Color Compilation of Metamorpho Stories
Format: Paperback
I bought many of the comics in the volume when they originally came out in the 1960's, and it is a delight to see them reprinted in color in one volume. I have the Showcase B/W version, which is nice, but this color compilation is better. Hope DC continues this line of inexpensive color reprint volumes.

Campy fun stories; same basic scenario on repeat
Format: Paperback
Scenario: heartthrob hero/turned freak who nevertheless gets the gorgeous girl; caveman flunky jealous of the freak; girl's vain mastermind father. Campy dialogue, fun though formulaic art. Enjoyable in small doses, as the scenario from issue to issue doesn't vary a lot.
