Shira Spector literally paints a vivid portrait of the most eventfulĀ 10 years of her life, encompassing her tenacious struggle to getĀ pregnant, the emotional turmoil of her fatherās cancer diagnosisĀ and eventual death, and her recollections of past relationships withĀ her parents and her partner. Set in a kaleidoscope of Montreal andĀ Toronto,Ā Red Rock Baby CandyĀ unfolds as one of the most formallyĀ inventive comics in the history of the medium. It begins in subtle,Ā tonal shades of black ink, introduces color slowly over the nextĀ 50 pages until it explodes into a glorious full color palette. TheĀ irreverent characters begin to bloom and to live life fully, resurrectingĀ the dead in order to map the geography among infertility, sexuality,Ā choice, and mortality. The drawing is visceral, symbolic, andĀ naturalistic. The visual storytelling eschews traditional comicsĀ panels in favor of a series of unique page compositions that conveyĀ both a stream of consciousness and the tactile reality of life, bothĀ the subjective impressions of the author at each moment of her lifeĀ and the objective series of events that shape her narrative. It is the most formally revolutionary visual storytelling since Emil FerrisāsĀ My Favorite Thing is Monsters.
