"This fascinating book opens the door to a world most of us did not know existed: the graphic universe created by Jewish women comics artists. Through interviews, biographies, personal reflections, and critical essays, Graphic Details provides an astonishing guided tour of contemporary sequential art at the forefront of visual culture. If the combination of Jewish, women, funny, comics, and art seems perplexing at first glance, the pages of Sarah Lightman’s beautifully curated collection will change your mind. A must-read."--Nancy K. Miller, author of What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past.
