EAST COAST RISING
By Becky Cloonan
Published by TokyoPop

When his ship is attacked by pirates, Archer is left floating adrift in a violent sea. But the young urchin is nothing if not resilient. He soon finds himself sailing with the infamous Cannonball Joe aboard "La Revancha," the fastest ship on the East Coast, in search of a legendary cache of hidden treasures. Their dangerous quest will lead directly to a showdown with the "Hoboken," one of the most feared pirate vessels ever to sail the Jersey shores, and its reckless captain, Lee. But there are far worse things than pirates that call these waters home...

    Becky Cloonan's East Coast Rising takes a decidedly urban approach to the pirate life with a mixture of punk rock, street gangs and a half-submerged wasteland once known as New York... this graphic novel marks the full-length debut of Eisner-nominated artist Cloonan. For longtime fans, it's a book they've heard about for years; for the newcomer, it's an ideal opportunity to discover a cartoonist praised by Entertainment Weekly and the Village Voice as a talent to watch.

    How can one of the most exciting and unconventional comic artists on the scene turning her hand to a work marketed as OEL in a high spirited adventure not be a real treat? ...In a work like East Coast Rising brings together the energy of pop energy of comics with a modern and informed look. Like a painting with evident brush strokes, in Cloonan's work the ink lines visual convey the energy of creation in the bold style.

    AMERICAN VIRGIN
    By Steve T. Seagle and Becky Cloonan.
    Published by Vertigo (2006-2008)

    Adam Chamberlain is a 20-year-old youth minister, a best-selling author, and most important, the head of a rabid national virginity movement. But practicing virgin or not, Adam is about to lose it when his girlfriend is killed.
    --
    Spiritual and grungy, a wholly original piece of work... It takes religion, a subject usually approached in pop culture with either bloodless piety or tiresome blasphemy, and gives the matter some hard, honest thought.
