Artichoke Tales

Megan Kelso's acclaimed graphic novel, in a new paperback edition.

Publisher Marketing: Surprising and wonderful... Kelso's ligne claire artwork is consistently sweet and airy... The approach provides a likable surface for a story with much darker and stickier depths, about a land whose cultural heritage is rotting away in the aftermath of a civil war.--Douglas Wolk "The New York Times Book Review" Review Quotes : A coming-of-age story about a young girl from a family caught between sides in a civil war, set in a world similar to ours but where people have artichoke leaves instead of hair. ... Its delicate, rather impish black-and-white linework comes from the creator of the subtle and poignant Squirrel Mother .--Martha Cornog "Library Journal" Publisher Marketing : Prior to cartoonist Megan Kelso's long-awaited 2022 release, Who Will Make the Pancakes , Kelso spent six years creating her first long-form graphic novel, 2010's Artichoke Tales . The book, a fantastic family saga spanning three generations and an entire continent, was a critical smash named to many "Best of 2010" lists. Fantagraphics is proud to bring this perennial classic back in print with a new paperback edition.
