Journey to the Anthropocene (Paperback)
This graphic novel is a feminist outcry against environmental degradation told through a history of dragon mythology. The journey towards our current environmental crisis include historical depictions of dragons, Plato's cave, dragon myths, dragon jokes, and a deconstruction of the depiction of women in historical art. The story explains how we got to widespread species collapse and global warming, illustrated through man's desire to conquer the natural world.
Aron Lee Bowe's mother says, "If Aron is such a good artist, why in the hell does she paint the crap that she does?" Not daunted, Bowe turns her wonderfully wretched life into a gut-tickling romp. Bowe won the Charles Schultz award for digital cartoons and the first place Humor prize from the National League of American Pen Women. She is artistically committed to telling stories of great significance through the eyes of a goofball.
