From 1989 to 2005, she brought Black women’s perspectives to an international audience with her trailblazing comic strip \u003ci\u003eWhere I’m Coming From\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom diets to day care to debt to dreaded encounters with everyday racism, no issue is off-limits. This remarkable and unapologetically funny career retrospective holds a mirror up to the ways society has changed and all the ways it hasn’t. The magic in \u003ci\u003eWhere I’m Coming From\u003c\/i\u003e is its ability to present an honest image of Black life without sacrificing Black joy, bolstered by unexpected one-liners eliciting much-needed laughter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the daughter of the mid-century cartoonist Brumsic Brandon Jr.—the creator of Luther, the second nationally syndicated strip to feature a Black lead—Brandon-Croft learned from the best. With supplementary writing by the author and her peers alongside throwback ephemera, this long-overdue collection situates Brandon-Croft as an inimitable cartoonist, humorist, and social commentator, securing her place in the comics canon and allowing her work to inspire new readers at a time when it is most needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57309718544766,"sku":"NW9781770465688","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781770465688.jpg?v=1778506463","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/where-im-coming-from","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
