ROAMING... still feeling both very old and very young

In honor of ROAMING sweeping this year's EISNER's, we're revisiting this previous episode about a GREAT work

ROAMING is the graphic novel winner of three 2024 EISNER awards for best graphic novel, best writer, and best penciller/inker - by cousins Mariko + Jillian Tamaki. It's a book about three young women touring New York City in the late aughts, and it's both a love letter to New York City and a nostalgic look at the relationship between three friends who are about to follow very different paths in life. You can’t read this book and not see yourself in it at a younger, more awkward phase of your life - whether or not you’ve even spent any time in NYC.

We've actually covered some of Mariko’s other award-winning work like Skim, This One Summer, and morein this feed. So be sure to check out those episodes, ALL of Mariko Tamaki's work wherever you get your favorite books
