Last week, I chatted here<\/a><\/strong> over at Kirkus<\/em> with author-illustrator and graphic novelist Vera Brosgol<\/a><\/strong> about her new graphic novel, Be Prepared<\/em> (First Second, April 2018). <\/p>\n

Today, I’m following up with some art from the book, plus some preliminary artwork Vera sent along. (Pictured above is a sketch from Vera’s pitch for the book.) <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
