The Examiner Examines Emily's 13th Hour Trade Paperback!
This trade paperback collects a four issue run into a single graphic novel that serves, near as I can tell, as essentially the origin story for Emily. Even the back cover asks: "we all know Emily the Strange is the world's weirdest thirteen-year-old, but do you have any idea how that came to be?" The 13th Hour begins on Emily's 13thbirthday, a day of a solar eclipse, a day when a strange gift is sent by an aunt neither Emily or her mom have never met. Written byRob Reger, and interestingly drawn myBuzz Parker (who demonstrates a wild graphic sense) this tale is told in four parts. And let me be very clear about this, Emily lives up to her title.
