A Tale of One Bad Rat by Bryan Talbot.
A Tale of One Bad Rat is a story about a teenage girl, Helen, who runs away from her
house because of sexual abuse. She has a pet rat and she loves to draw. Being a fan of
Beatrix Potter, a woman that was opressed in her house in a different way, she was
inspired to go to the beautiful places where Potter drew (and wrote) her nice children's books. Helen little by little gains confidence and starts fighting the inner demons that come from sexual abuse.
The book is fantastic. The drawings are beautiful, yet simple to understand. The story is very emotional. It is clear that the writer put his soul into this project.
A fantastic comic book.
