An excellent and important read for any DIY punk fan – well, any underground art and music fan of any kind really. A great cast of female and non-binary characters, most of whom were also POC, paving the way for more diversity in the punk scene. The artwork was a lot of fun, the layout was varied and the colours in particular were beautiful. I loved the inclusion of songs to soundtrack particular moments in the book – I didn’t actually listen to them as I went but could imagine most of them (that I was familiar with) playing in my head.
