An Age of License

Lucy Knisley’s An Age of License (2014–present, Fantagraphics) is a single-issue graphic memoir that captures a whirlwind European adventure, balancing romance, travel, and the uncertainties of early adulthood. Knisley both writes and illustrates this intimate travelogue, which stands as a snapshot of her distinctive, warmly observational style. It matters as a concise, personal entry in the tradition of autobiographical comics, offering a candid look at the messiness of life on the road.
