A few years ago Megan Kelso noticed an explosion of young female cartoonists who were really ambitious and promising and got together with them as a very active, hands-on editor to produce Scheherazade. In Queen Scheherazade Kelso found a role model: the archetypal (female) storyteller, cheating death by enthralling her royal captor with new instalments of a vast, interconnected story. The tales in this book take on the broad human spectrum and herald a new era in the genre of the graphic novel.
