I sought this out after owning it once before. Dori Seda was a side-line luminary of the underground comix scence. This collection of work, including several essays by those who knew of her work and of her personally, makes a great package.

Highly encourage those who love the 70s and 80s of independent comix to get this.

DORI STORIES First Last 9780867193756 Books Reviews

Great in every way.
I discovered Dori Seda in college. I happened upon the classic "Twisted Sisters" compilation and I fell in love with Dori's stuff. Totally hilarious and gross realism, pitch perfect dialogue, great artwork. She's a slob, she drinks too much, she falls in love, she has an incredibly large and smelly dog that she has to shower with in order to get him clean. She also smoked too much and died too young, a tragedy. This is a great collection for lovers of Aline Kominsky, Julie Doucet, R. Crumb, Joe Matt, Harvey Pekar... RIP Dori...
Someone else describes Dori as the 'queen' of the underground comix; I don't think I'd go there, and given R. Crumb as the 'king,' you'd have to consider Aline Kominsky, among others, as the 'queen.' Dori WAS a princess, though; AND a brilliant artist, and also a very good writer. She's definitely my favorite among the underground comix artists, male OR female. Her stories are among the best, and ARE the most entertaining, of the self-examining underground comix of the 70s. There was no subject too touchy for Dori, but she applied her keen sense of humor with a wonderfully gentle touch. Her artwork is incredible. There are few with a better command of pen and ink. This collection provides most of her work in one convenient place, and however you've gotten to this review, I know you have enough interest to appreciate the book. Buy it, you'll like it!
Dori was a dear friend from Elk Grove High School. Her stories are just as offbeat as she was back then. We miss her.
