Giant Days Vol. 1

By John Allison, Lissa Treiman and Whitney Cogar

Susan, Esther, and Daisy started at university three weeks ago and became fast friends because their dorm rooms were next to each other. Now, away from home for the first time, all three want to reinvent themselves. But in the face of hand-wringing boys, "personal experimentation," influenza, mystery-mold, nu-chauvinism, and the willful, unwanted intrusion of "academia," they may be lucky just to make it to spring alive.

John Allison

Born in a hidden village deep within the British Alps, John Allison came into this world a respectable baby with style and taste. Having been exposed to American comics at an early age, he spent decades honing his keen mind and his massive body in order to burn out this colonial cultural infection. One of the longest continuously publishing independent web-based cartoonists, John has plied his trade since the late nineties moving from Bobbins to Scary Go Round to Bad Machinery, developing the deeply weird world of Tackleford long after many of his fellow artists were ground into dust and bones by Time Itself. He has only once shed a single tear, but you only meet Sergio Aragonés for the first time once. John resides in Letchworth Garden City, England, and is known to his fellow villagers only as He Who Has Conquered.

Reviews for Giant Days Vol. 1

[anna · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I feel like everything I've been reading lately has been 2 / 3 stars.
This one was pretty interesting, overall. I like some of the characters, and hate others. I like that it's mostly told in little stories as opposed to one larger overall plotline.

[Marja Heikkinen · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Reading this was so much fun. I'm eager to find out what happens to Susan, Esther, and Daisy next. Not quite 4 star read for me, but generous 3.5 stars.

Susan thinks about anyone else. Going as far as trying to publicly ruin another characters reputation because he didn't want to go out with her.
