Meet the Plain Janes--artist activists on a mission to wake up
their sleepy suburban town. This cult classic graphic novel is
perfect for fans of The LumberJanes and Awkward. When artsy misfit
Jane Beckles is forced to leave her beloved city life behind for
the boring suburb of Kent Waters, she thinks her life is over. But
then she finds where she belongs: at the reject table in the
cafeteria, along with fellow misfits Brain Jayne, Theater Jane, and
sporty Polly Jane. United by only two things-a shared name and
frustration with the adults around them--the girls form a secret
club dedicated to fighting suburban apathy with guerrilla works of
art scattered around their small town. But for Main Jane, the group
is more than simple teenaged rebellion; it's an act of survival.
She's determined not to let fear rule her life like it does her
parents' and neighbors' lives. Armed with her sketchbook and a
mission of resistance, the PLAIN Janes are out to prove that
passion, bravery, and a group of great friends can save anyone from
the hell that is high school. With each installment printed in its
own distinct color, this volume includes the original two
stories--The Plain Janes and Janes in Love--plus a
never-before-seen third story, Janes Attack Back. The Janes are
back, and better than ever.
Follow novelist Cecil Castellucci in this insightful memoir of
making art, the nature of memory, and being a teenager in 80s New
York City. One thing young Cecil was sure of from the minute she
saw Star Wars was that she was going to be some kind of artiste.
Probably a filmmaker. Possibly Steven Spielberg. Then in 1980 the
movie Fame came out. Cecil wasn't allowed to see that movie. It was
rated R and she was ten. But she did watch the television show and
would pretend with her friends that she was going to that school.
Of course they were playing. She was not. She was destined to be an
art school kid. Chronicling the life of award-winning young adult
novelist, and Eisner-nominated comics scribe Cecil Castellucci
(Shade the Changing Girl, Star Wars: Moving Target), Girl On Film
follows a passionate aspiring artist from the youngest age through
adulthood to deeply examine the arduous pursuit of filmmaking,
while exploring the act of memory and how it recalls and reshapes
what we think we truly know about ourselves. Praise for Girl on
Film More than a life story, it's an account of how to live an
artist's life even when it looks like your artistic ambitions are
grandiose and impractical. In fact, Castellucci shows, your
artistic ambitions are pretty much guaranteed to be grandiose and
impractical. That doesn't matter. What matters is how you live with
your big dreams, what you give up for them, what you hang onto and
what you let go. - NPR ...a story that's simultaneously sweet and
provoking: more than a mere autobiography, Girl on Film demands
that we ask ourselves how we narrate our own life and its meaning.

instalments of the cult classic graphic novel The Plain Janes--"The
Plain Janes" and "Janes in Love"-are available bound up into one
volume with a never-before-seen third story, "Janes Attack Back."
After getting caught in the midst of a terrorist attack on Metro
City, artsy misfit Jane Beckles is forced to leave her beloved
bustling metropolis for the boring suburb of Kent Waters. At first
Jane thinks her life is over but then she finds where she belongs:
at the reject table in the cafeteria, along with Brain Jayne,
Theatre Jane and sporty Polly Jane. United by only two things - a
shared name and an all-too-relateable frustration with the adults
around them--the girls form P.L.A.I.N., aka People Loving Art In
Neighbourhoods, a secret club dedicated to waking up their fellow
citizens with guerrilla works of art scattered around town. But for
Main Jane, the resident new girl and ringleader of P.L.A.I.N., the
group is more than just a simple act of teenage rebellion, it's an
act of survival. She's determined not to let fear rule her life
like it does her parents' and neighbours'. Armed with her
sketchbook and a mission of resistance, she's out to prove that
true passion and a group of good friends can save anyone from the
hell that is high school.
