Ok, you want a taste of real life? When it comes to a story that has no superpowers beyond the simple ability for the human spirit to endure the horrors of life, there's Art Speigelman's Maus, and this. Only this can rip your guts out with the evils that dwell in our own cities, towns, and neighbourhoods. This is the only comic book that has left me in tears and feeling sick in the comic shop and almost unable to buy it afterwards. Considering A Child's Life's subject matter - child abuse - you might not expect it to be easy reading, but the way Gloeckner hides nothing and shines light on the most vile aspects of this subject matter can leave you feeling like someone just worked you over with an emotional baseball bat. I warn you now, it's very powerful stuff.
