Monkey Food: The Complete "I Was Seven in '75" Collection

Ellen Forney’s Monkey Food: The Complete “I Was Seven in ’75” Collection is a single-issue, self-contained graphic memoir from Fantagraphics, collecting her autobiographical comics about growing up in the 1970s. Forney’s warm, confessional art and sharp wit turn childhood memories—from pop culture obsessions to family awkwardness—into a vivid snapshot of a specific time and place. It’s a compact, beloved addition to her body of work, offering a nostalgic yet unsentimental look at coming of age in the mid-’70s.
