Nail Polish

Ordered this one from the artist's Etsy store last Spring and picked it up from our mail drop when we visited the US in the summer.

Title: Nail Polish
Date: 2016
Publisher: Assigned Male Comics
Writer: Sophie LaBelle
Artist: Sophie LaBelle

Two transgender pre-teens discuss life, clothes, family, and everything else while one of them tries nail polish for the first time.

This was sweet and thoughtful, and the dialogue and pacing worked great for introducing the characters in a small space without a any really jarring plot developments.

LaBelle's artwork is lovely, and she works a kind of quiet wisdom into her writing that connects with the reader.

Rating: 8.5/10
