Soundtrack collects the best of Jessica Abel's self-published Artbabe series, one of the most exciting comic books to emerge in the late-1990s. The first four were self-xeroxed efforts, and led to a prestigious Xeric Grant in 1996, enabling her to publish a more professionally packaged fifth issue. This volume presents the best of these five comic books, as well as other short strips, to a larger audience for the first time. Abel's stories are peppered with hipsters, fashion, and trendy locales - all of which have contributed to her considerable appeal - but don't let the generational trappings fool you. Her intuitive ear for dialogue and characterization have made Artbabe a hit amongst people of all ages, especially women.
TP, 120pg, b&w

From Booklist:
Abel's slice-of-life comics about aimless but anxious twentysomethings, collected in Mirror, Window [BKL O 15 00], have been praised for verisimilitude and insight. Although not as fully realized, Abel's earlier stories in this volume show that she had already discovered the milieu of her work since and developed her considerable facility with characterization and dialogue. Several experimental pieces, however, don't take the straightforward storytelling approach that is her greatest strength, and her drawing style herein is more rough-hewn than it would be later. The volume also contains a generous sample of Abel's comic-strip journalism, in which she covers such events as a reading by Camille Paglia and a Godzilla-fan convention. Such real-life stories help account for how she developed her skill at writing realistic conversation and creating the sense of real places. This collection, ragtag as it may be, will keep Abel's fans happy while they await another collection of recent stories. Gordon Flagg
