Before her comics were serialised in the New York Times Sunday Magazine or published by Fantagraphics, Megan Kelso was a classic DIY cartoonist/publisher, who crafted and self-published her popular mini-comic Girlhero from 1991 to 1996. Queen of the Black Black, which collects these early Girlhero strips, provides an engrossing chronicle of an ambitious young cartoonist carefully developing her own unique style and approach.
