Even though I finished "Escape from Special" within a couple of hours of my purchase, I never got to write and tell what an impression it left on me. I absolutely love your drawings and the way you write. It was very expressive, beautiful, and liberating. Def made me a fan and amlooking forward to seeing more.

Hey!! Super cool that you're on my 'befriended' list 'cuz I just bought 'Escape from "Special"' from the Beguiling in Toronto.

I review for Diverging Comics online - how would you feel about a review/interview combo? I'm a strictly Girl on Girl Action reviewer (not like that) - I concentrate my efforts on the women in comics.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Take good care,
Lezley

Thank you for adding me - your work has an amazing feel. The book is going to a be a thing of beauty!

"Escape from Special" should be read by anyone who has ever unreasonably doubted herself or reasonably doubted the veracity of that which she was expected to believe. How's THAT for a demographic? Rock on, Miss!

Wow. "Cheese Steak.." was a really good read. I especially liked the frontspiece, and that last panel captures the introspective mood very well. Can't wait to see the rest of the book!

Can't wait to get your book!!!

OK, I found it. Gosh, you're good. I love the quality of your lines and there's a Frida Kahlo-ish sadness shot through your attitude. Nice, nice work, Miss Lasko-Gross.

Hey, good luck with your new book coming out!!!
