One Hundred Demons

In One Hundred Demons, cartoonist Lynda Barry turns a painting exercise—the "One Hundred Demons" list—into a raw, funny, and heartbreaking graphic memoir. Published by Sasquatch Books in a single 2005 volume, the book blends Barry’s signature hand-lettered text with vibrant, collage-like watercolors to exorcise personal ghosts, from childhood bullies to family secrets. It’s a landmark work that helped redefine the autobiographical comic as a form of honest, everyday art.
