Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe

From 2007 onward, Kent State University Press released this single-issue comic by writer-artist Tom Batiuk, best known for his long-running newspaper strip Funky Winkerbean. Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe expands on the poignant, character-driven narrative of Lisa, a figure from Batiuk's strip, as she faces a life-altering medical diagnosis. The book stands as a mature, standalone graphic novel that tackles serious themes with the same warmth and realism Batiuk brings to his daily work.
