Radiator Comics

Description

Like flipping through a photo album, Nearly Miss by Cristina Portolano illustrates childhood through a series of quirky snapshots of earthquakes, itchy dresses, and slightly sadistic nuns in Naples, Italy at the end of the 1980’s.

Cristina’s comic memoir is a hilariously accurate portrait of the cruelty and challenges of growing up, and the expectations placed on girls and young women.
