Step Aside, Pops (A Hark! A Vagrant Collection) #[nn]
"Chopin and Liszt" collects a standout moment in Kate Beaton’s sharp, witty storytelling, blending historical flair with her signature irreverent humor. Written and illustrated by Beaton—with co-writing contributions from Carly Monardo and Meredith Gran—this collection features a trio of bold, fiercely individual women challenging the old tropes of female characters in comics, all while leaning into the very clichés they’re subverting. The cover, also by Beaton, captures the spirit of the collection with her distinctive line work and playful energy.
