Street Angel: Princess of Poverty

by Jim Rugg, Brian Maruca

Harry Potter, Bruce Wayne, Annie, and Oliver Twist can go #&©% themselves! There's a new orphan badass in town.   Homeless teenager, Jesse "Street Angel" Sanchez cuts school and fights ninja gangbangers, mad scientists, cops, time-traveling pirates, J-horror cliches, an evil version of her future self, ancient gods, rednecks, and hunger. In America's cold, hard streets, the PRINCESS OF POVERTY defends the destitute, downtrodden, and defenseless with a skateboard and kung fu. Funny, violent, irreverent -- everything you love in comic books. From the creator of The PLAIN Janes, Hulk Grand Design, and Cartoonist Kayfabe.

Rugg's art is GOATed. The afrodisiac stuff is outdated in a cringe-inducing way, but the other parts of this tear ass.

Pure fun escapism and a perfect companion to the “Deadliest Girl Alive” collection!
