Her Bark and Her Bite

by James Albon

ISBN 978-1-60309-407-8 - Diamond: JAN17-0576

"Like a New Yorker cover spun out to a full­-length story... Albon uses loose and energetic colored pencil, in a palette heavy in yellows and blues, to capture the social and emotional whirl of this airy tale." — Publishers Weekly

"James Albon's delicate and utterly unique artwork is so alive on the page, you can't help but be charmed and completely swept up in Her Bark & Her Bite." — Jeff Lemire, author of Essex County and The Underwater Welder

“Lines and shade flow through the panels, bringing the story to life as if it were caught in a breeze… an extraordinary book.” — Grovel

"The images lift off the page, practically dancing in your line of sight. Many of the page spreads are breathtaking, and the whole book exudes a confident slinkiness." — Sequential State

Soon after young artist Rebecca arrives in the big city, she stumbles headlong into the arms of the charismatic Victor. When they fall madly in love, she's thrown into his socialite world of glamorous parties, devoted fans, and layabout debutantes. The people, the art, and the acclaim are exhilarating — until Victor’s affections start to wander to his new pug, Princess. With her new boyfriend slipping away before her eyes, Rebecca’s jealousy and fear threaten to upend everything. Can she hold onto the man she loves? Does she even really want to?
