Comic book author-illustrator Jessica Abel has a gift for depicting paralyzing awkwardness. She works from experience: a punk-rock teenager, Abel went to college in a Midwestern town and found herself an outsider in a sea of blue jeans and sweatshirts. Then she went to the local comic book store. Produced by Catherine Epstein.

I got a stack of old Legion of Superheroes and Daredevil comics from my sister when I was a kid. I remember being obsessed with the art of the human body and from that time onward, drew and studied anatomy and drew some more. Anytime I went to the mall with my friends I would stop by the record store and stare at Molly Hatchet album covers. I've been a big Frazetta fan ever since.
