It's So Magic #[nn]

Lynda Barry's It's So Magic captures her signature warmth and hand-drawn exuberance right on the cover: two young figures recline together beneath a star-and-lightning-bolt-filled night sky, framed by theatrical red curtains, while speech bubbles ask "What is? Everything" and "You're psychin' right? This is a super psych out, right?" — a perfectly Barry exchange that buzzes with wonder and deadpan humor. The bold, folk-art lettering and vivid colors feel alive in a way that only Barry can pull off, every inch of the image crackling with her unmistakable hand. Published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2022, this is an irresistible entry point into the world of one of alternative comics' most distinctive voices.
