Synopses & Reviews
Being a teenager can be a difficult job, something the adult world can never understand. While to her parents and teachers getting Adam Ant tickets is no big deal, to Bleu L. Finnegan it means everything. This could be the defining moment of her life, and there is no guarantee that she will ever achieve it. On the way, Bleu must deal with the travails of adolescent life - from prank-playing, porn-addicted boys to sexist pig radio disc jokeys to trying to figure out how to show that dreamy substitute teacher that she`s his perfect mate. It all culminates on that fateful night when Bleu and her best friend, Clover, go to the club and try to get in at any cost! Nothing will bar Bleu from the pop idol of her dreams! BLUE MONDAY: THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT is the sort of uncensored, irreverent look at teenage life that we haven`t seen since John Hughes started making films about spotted dogs and Molly Ringwald lost her ability to be petulantly cute. Look out, Dawson, because this American cutie pie has had enough of your soul searching, and it`s time to get back to kids being kids again! In addition to collecting the three-issue Oni Press miniseries, this book also contains all the short stor
ies from the popular indie anthologies ACTION GIRL COMICS, ONI DOUBLE FEATURE, and DARK HORSE PRESENTS. It will also reprint the original series covers by hot comics artists Adam Warren (GEN13), Evan Dorkin (MILK `N` CHEESE), and J. Scott Campbell (DANGER GIRL). Contains mature situations and adult language.
BLUE MONDAY: THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT is Chynna Clugston-Major`s debut creator-owned series. While her art - a fresh blend of Japanese manga and late `80s flash - has been showcased in Dark Horse`s SPYBOY and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and Jim Mahfood`s GRRL SCOUTS, this full-length tale sets the stage for even more phenomenal work to come. In 1999, Chynna was nominated for a Friends of Lulu award for the best female newcomer in the comics field.
