All I knew was that the main character, Lottie, is a girl with green hair, and snot coming out of her nose. Since I still hadn’t read the description/summary by the time I started reading this comic, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I was overjoyed, and ended up opening this comic up right when I got home, and then having to work an hour later than usual, because I used up an hour in the middle of my workday just to read Snotgirl all in one sitting! I put a hold on it before the library even physically had it available, and finally got my hands on it not too long ago. I originally requested it from the publisher, but my contact and I lost touch, so I ended up just borrowing it from my local library. Overall, the cover of this comic was appealing to me, and the name intriguing enough,that I did not even bother reading the description before adding it to my “to read” list!

The next thing I noticed was the illustration style (which I really really like), and then the font and layout of the title.

I was browsing the Image Comics website and looking at their “coming soon” section when the cover of Snotgirl Volume 1 caught my eye.

The colours on the cover of this comic book is what caught my attention first, I believe. Is she a gorgeous, fun-loving social media star with a perfect life or a gross, allergy-ridden mess? Enter a world of snot, blood, and tears in this first collection from New York Times Best Seller Bryan Lee O’Malley (Scott Pilgrim, Seconds) and dazzling newcomer Leslie Hung! – MY REVIEW – Contributors: Bryan Lee O’Malley, Leslie Hung (Illustrator), Mickey Quinn (Colorist), Maré Odomo (Letterer)
