My Brain Hurts book 128 pages, 1/2 size, paperback (5 oz) ~~$6.00~~ $5.00

A group of teenage queer punks get in perpetual trouble with the police when they aren't flirting over loud music or postering their high school with flyers to allow same sex couples at prom. It's like they were your actual high school peers - pissing off the administration and taking care of each other when they get beat up by skinheads. Liz Baillie has a real talent for dialogue, characters, storytelling, and capturing New York - especially those moments that we all live, awkwardly making out, pulling pranks, and drinking beer. This graphic novel collects the first five (out of 10) issues of the comic My Brain Hurts. Listen to a 90 min podcast interview with Liz about all things comical! ISBN 978-1-934620-03-8

Aside from the rich drawings and Kate’s engaging personality, Baillie’s cast of characters is also amazing... Through chugging 40’s and adventurous games of spin-the-bottle, Kate finds her sexuality in a tangle of identity confusion. Underlying this youthful narrative is a political beat that keeps a steady rhythm on each enjoyable page. My Brain Hurts is a great series for queer youth and older queer activists to relish together. Feminist Review

Microcosm, save my skull from being deadened by lots of bad music and giving me smarts to read instead! Yes, comics will suffice. Compiled from the first five issues of the comics-zine of the same name author/artist Liz Baille takes us through the lives of a few queer punks growing up in New York City. Hanging Hex

My Brain Hurts is a terrific portrait of gay youth on a journey of self-discovery, and makes for a really terrific read. Kate is an instantly compelling and sympathetic character, even when she’s using poor judgment; you know this girl, you invest in her. That’s no mean feat for any creator, and Baillie pulls it off perfectly. Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room
