Buff Soul
Moa Romanova, trans. from the Swedish by Melissa Bowers (Fantagraphics)
Swedish cartoonist Romanova tags along with a musician friend—they’re both supercool, gorgeous neurotics with substance abuse issues—on a road trip misadventure across the U.S. in this graphic memoir drenched in neon Memphis Milano aesthetic. Days of binge-drinking, drugs, and sex ultimately lead to a confrontation with the past. The Eisner winner’s pop art narrative makes for an addictive sweet-and-sour treat.
