Daddy's Girl

Debbie Drechsler’s Daddy’s Girl, a single-issue comic from Fantagraphics published in 2008, is a stark, autobiographical work exploring a young girl’s experience of family secrets and sexual abuse. Drechsler’s delicate, expressive linework and unflinching narrative voice make this a quietly devastating entry in the alternative comics canon. It remains a powerful, intimate testament to the courage of speaking difficult truths.
