Snotgirl #1

When I went in to pick up the Plutona Trade Paperback and the latest Usagi Yojimbo Collection, I saw the first issue of Snotgirl with artwork by Bryan Lee O'Malley.  Though the story line (of a girl who is a Dazzling Fashion Blogger online but a Hay-Fevered Runny-Nosed Insecure girl in real life) intrigued me, I'm not a big fan of O'malley's art, and so passed it up. Only when I got home I found out O'Malley wasn't the interior artist, and the girl they got to do inside illustrations was Leslie Hung, someone who absolutely EXCELS in drawing beautiful gals!!! I also found that the O'Malley cover I saw was a variant, and that the real cover was done by Hung herserf, and so I made a mad rush BACK to the comic store to pick it up!!! As you can see, it.is.freaking.beautiful!!!
Interesting story so far, we'll see if this one goes anywhere...
