Virus Tropical

Virus Tropical, from 2D Cloud, is a graphic memoir by Colombian artist Powerpaola, translated by Jamie Richards. This single-issue comic charts the artist's coming-of-age in a deeply religious, middle-class family in Cali, Colombia, navigating her parents' divorce and her own burgeoning sexuality. Powerpaola's loose, expressive ink drawings bring a raw, intimate energy to this story of finding oneself outside the lines of expectation.
