Queen of Cosmos Comix Trilogy HC (MR)
Barbara “Willy” Mendes’ masterpiece of hallucinogenic storytelling, Queen of Cosmos Comix Trilogy, collected for the first time in a single volume. In Queen of Cosmos Comix Trilogy, underground cartoonist, fine artist, and muralist Barbara “Willy” Mendes chronicles women creators’ psychedelic journey through Biblical tableaux, modern life, and into a fantastical, interstellar future, weaving in her own intimate stories of being an artist, mother, and grandmother, especially in the never-before-published third volume. Inspired by Jewish mysticism, Mendes presents a creation myth shaped by feminine cosmic consciousness, with new, immersive worlds — and a radical reimagining of this one. Includes an illuminating and entertaining interview with Mendes, as well as the 3 rd never- before-published chapter of the trilogy.
