Lulu Award-winning cartoonist Abby Denson is a rock n' roll ‘Jane of all trades' and creator of the queer comic Tough Love: High School Confidential, and now she's bringing the punked-up Barbies and stripped-down Kens of her new book Dolltopia on the road!
Having started as a one-page comic in 2002, Dolltopia has since taken on a life of it's own, growing into a 24-page mini-comic, and ultimately, into a full-blown graphic novel. The Dolltopia graphic novel will be published in a deluxe edition with pink spot color throughout and French flaps with paper dolls designed into them.
Dolltopia has been embraced by the New York art scene, comic book fans, and has even been used in queer theory college courses.
Join the doll revolution and discover that these dolls are more than just toys!
