At the same time, however, she is able to write in such a way that anyone who struggles with perceptions, love, and acceptance, no matter if they are 15 or 50, will be able to relate to her story-and maybe find hope for themselves, too. Prince presents experiences that resonate strongly for those of us who grew up at the same time as her, especially those of us who deal with some of the same feelings, emotions, and struggles of Liz herself. Liz Prince has been creating autobiographical cartoons for decades and is well established as one of the best in the genre, with her openness and honesty ensuring that readers are seeing how Liz actually feels presented on the printed page, not some fictionalized version of herself. Today, Panel Patter is extremely pleased to be double-spotlighting autobiographical cartoonist/zinester, Liz Prince, starting with this extensive interview and also including a review of her new graphic memoir from Zest Books, Tomboy. You can check out all of Panel Patter's spotlights for SPX from both this year and prior years here. Welcome to another entry in the 2014 SPX Spotlight series! For the next month, Panel Patter will be highlighting creators and publishers who will be at one of the best conventions, the Small Press Expo.
