From 1989 to 2005, she brought Black women's perspectives to an international audience with her trailblazing comic strip \u003ci\u003eWhere I'm Coming From\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom diets to day care to debt to dreaded encounters with everyday racism, no issue is off-limits. This remarkable and unapologetically funny career retrospective holds a mirror up to the ways society has changed and all the ways it hasn't. The magic in \u003ci\u003eWhere I'm Coming From\u003c\/i\u003e is its ability to present an honest image of Black life without sacrificing Black joy, bolstered by unexpected one-liners eliciting much-needed laughter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the daughter of the mid-century cartoonist Brumsic Brandon Jr.--the creator of Luther, the second nationally syndicated strip to feature a Black lead--Brandon-Croft learned from the best. With supplementary writing by the author and her peers alongside throwback ephemera, this long-overdue collection situates Brandon-Croft as an inimitable cartoonist, humorist, and social commentator, securing her place in the comics canon and allowing her work to inspire new readers at a time when it is most needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770465688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184","brand":"Barbara Brandon-Croft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42561934295221,"sku":"9781770465688","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_90e3fcaf-7938-49bf-8c16-2395b96ae1fb.jpg?v=1670943211","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/where-im-coming-from-9781770465688","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
