Take It As a Compliment

In Take It As a Compliment (2015–present, Jessica Kingsley Publishers), writer-artist Maria Stoian collects and illustrates real-life stories of sexual harassment and assault, drawn from anonymous interviews. This single-issue comic gives voice to a diverse range of experiences, using stark, expressive art to convey the emotional weight of each account. A powerful, empathetic work that turns personal testimony into a shared, unflinching look at a pervasive issue.
