From the Publisher
After several years of working as an illustrator, Debbie Drechsler decided to try another medium that would allow her a more intimate means of expression. In several starkly illustrated comic book stories, Drechsler wrote about deeply personal, often troubling themes, including childhood sexual abuse, and the troubles of a young girl growing up alienated from her surroundings. Drechsler's first comic strip was published in Drawn & Quarterly in 1992, and in the following year, her landmark, darkly-colored story, "Constellations", was published in The Best of Drawn & Quarterly. Her first book, Daddy's Girl, was published in 1996, and later that year her first regular comic book series, Nowhere, premeired. Drechsler was nominated for three 1997 Eisner Awards (including Best New Series for Nowhere) along with two 1997 Ignatz Awards, including Best New Talent. Foreign editions of her work have been recently published in France and Italy. Drechsler lives in Santa Rosa, California, where she is in the early planning stages of her next comic book story.
