Furgason, Sharon – Nina the Librarian

Nina the Librarian Now Available! $4

Here’s another great comic from Sharon. This one is all one big story instead of the collections of short stories that she was doing, and she’s considering turning it into a regular series. To which I say: do it! Seriously, one issue in and I’m already invested in the characters. As you can probably tell from the title, it’s all about Nina, who’s a librarian, and her dealing with work, a stalker (or just a slightly creepy admirer, it’s tough to tell so far), and an old singing bag lady. She’s a quiet, mousy girl who spends a lot of time writing in her journal and fantasizing about her life, what could happen with it and what it happening with it. I was smiling ear to ear throughout this book, and if that’s not a recommendation I don’t know what is. It’s $4, which is a bit steep, but it’s a pretty big book and it’s worth it. Contact info is up there, maybe if enough people buy this she’ll make a regular series out of this…
