What's Fear Got to Do with It?

By Ivana Filipovich

"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.
