The Adventures of Venus

A rare foray into all-ages work, ��he Adventures of Venus��was Gilbert Hernandez�� contribution to the kids��anthology Measles which he edited in 1999 and 2000. This super-affordable little hardcover collects all the previously uncollected ��enus��stories from Measles in which Luba�� niece creates and collects comic books, walks through a scary forest, plays soccer, schemes to get the cute boy she likes, laments the snowless-less of a California Christmas, catches measles, and travels to a distant planet (OK, the last one may be a dream). Plus a new story done just for this book!
