What’s Fear Got to Do with It?

“Ivana’s line is masterfully fluid, as are her dialogues. This book feels like a mild psychedelic trip – I loved every minute of it!” –Nina Bunjevac, Heartless

A soapy crime drama unfolds between the stalls of North America’s largest night market

Eva and Mia couldn’t be more different. Where Mia is insecure and image-obsessed, Eva is quiet and sensible. But the two women have one thing in common: their boyfriend, Max–a highly respected member of the city’s criminal underground with a fearsome reputation. Over the course of a single dangerous evening at the night market, it quickly becomes clear that no one is in this relationship for love–instead, Mia, Eva, and Max are motivated by other complex social contracts: power, money, and fear.

Inspired by the work of literary masters Anton Chekhov, Ingmar Bergman, and Tennessee Williams, and created in a style that’s reminiscent of black-and-white European artist Blutch, What’s Fear Got to Do With It peels back the layers of human relationships and reveals that everything is not as it seems. A stunning debut from a talented artist who is part of the new Balkan Renaissance in comics.
