Marathon running, clothes line swinging, hotel bed jumping, Stella. A perfectly imperfect woman, naked and bald, she is an eponymous collection of vulnerable, quirky hand drawn brush and ink images that celebrate the mysteries of womanhood. Reflecting the experiences, imagination and observations of her creator, Leanne Wilkes, Stella is deliciously honest as she champions freedom, self acceptance and mischief whilst refusing to be limited by conventions or any convenient, narrow categorization. Women everywhere love Stella for being just like them, simultaneously ordinary and extraordinary.
So freaking underrated and no one read this comic collection?! Wow. I read it, loved it. Feel offended. Feel connected. Ultimately it’s us it’s we are talking about here.
