Vagabond Review (Tim Curry's memoir)

Image
What's your favorite movie/show/video game (yeah, he's voiced video game characters!) Tim Curry was in? Mine was when he voiced the Mouse King in Barbie in the Nutcracker. When a legend passes away, you have to read his life story.  Vagabond is famous British actor Tim Curry 's memoir, chronicling his early years growing up in Britain, how he got into acting, and some fun behind the scenes trivia and sentiments about his time working on his most famous projects, from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to The Wild Thornberrys.   This was very digestible! Tim Curry wrote his book with a lot of dry humor but also warmth. He has never been one to stayed tied down to one place for too long (hence the title "Vagabond"), and he hopes that his memoir touches his readers' in some way (it did for me!).   I gave this 5 stars !

My Tokyo Summer Review

Image
  Yup, another graphic novel I picked up on a whim. My Tokyo Summer by Abby Benson is semi-autobiographical, and is about the author and her experience being a new and young manga creator in the 80s and 90s. Y'know, back when anime and manga wasn't as mainstream in the US as it is now. Abby gets her start writing her comics in zines and distributing them in select shops in New York City. At the same time, a Japanese girl named Yuuko comes across one her zines and loves it! The girls end up connecting and writing their own original manga when Abby goes to study abroad in Japan during her college years. They sell their works at a Comiket. They also bond a lot over food.   This was a very cute and fun graphic novel. It was so interesting to see how being an otaku in America was like back in the 80s and 90s. And how people made and sold things without the Internet. And how people learned other languages without technology! I gave it 4 stars , but that's only because I though...

Sensory: Life on the Spectrum Review

Image
This was on my TBR for a while! Sensory: Life on the Spectrum is a comic anthology edited by Bex Ollerton . It's a compilation of comics by popular autistic artists (mostly based in the UK) about their personal experiences being autistic.  The comics vary from sad, to funny, to a mixture of both. Some are even educational! With so many unique art styles! They all have the same message: there is nothing wrong with you and you are not alone.  I loved this book so much! It gets 5 stars from me. This book was especially helpful for me as an autistic adult that was diagnosed later in life. A lot of the artists featured in this book were just like me! But anyone whether your are neurodivergent (autism or anything else) or neurotypical should read this.
