Nina the Librarian by Sharon Furgason

Here’s another great comic from Sharon. This one is all one big story instead of the collections of short stories that she was doing, and she’s considering turning it into a regular series. To which I say: do it! Seriously, one issue in and I’m already invested in the characters. As you can probably tell from the title, it’s all about Nina, who’s a librarian, and her dealing with work, a stalker (or just a slightly creepy admirer, it’s tough to tell so far), and an old singing bag lady. She’s a quiet, mousy girl who spends a lot of time writing in her journal and fantasizing about her life, what could happen with it and what it happening with it. I was smiling ear to ear throughout this book, and if that’s not a recommendation I don’t know what is. It’s $4, which is a bit steep, but it’s a pretty big book and it’s worth it.
