AutobiographixÓ are a relatively recent invention in the graphic story medium of comic books. They are a sub-genre, which evolved out of the underground comix of the 1960s; their forebears are R. Crumb & Justin Green. Their personal revelations often dealt with psychosocial, sexual & religious conflicts. They helped graphic narrative matureÓ into a legitimate means of artistic expression. Fleener has adopted a general agenda of sex, drugs & rock Ôn' roll but these autobiographix are definitely post-psychedelicÓ in nature. Fleener's narratives are also dryly documentary & much less introspective. It is this matter-of-fact point of view & the truth so simply told that makes these narratives amusing. Her unique graphic style is cubismo.ÓFleener, Mary is the author of 'Life of the Party : The Complete Autobiographical Collection', published 2006 under ISBN 9780756798598 and ISBN 0756798590.
