A well-loved fixture in the Portland zine scene, by Nicole J Georges has compiled for the first time an anthology of the first 8 issues of her self-published Invincible Summer comic, plus some new material to boot. And so we have Invincible Summer Anthology, brought to you by Microcosm Publishing.

Her personality and wit shines through her drawings which describe five years of badly paid jobs, drama and heartbreak, friendships, being mother to a dog and vegan cuisine (including recipes!). Over the course of the book we can see the improvement in Georges' illustrations, which look as though they are torn straight out of a sketchbook.

What makes this comic so special is how it makes the reader think of how magical the most simplest of actions and ordinary moments can be; such as riding a bike or even having your daily coffee. An unpretentious and endearing example of life as art.
