Gabrielle Bell schreibt grafische Erzählungen, die sich mit den Feinheiten menschlicher Verbindungen und der alltäglichen Existenz auseinandersetzen. Ihr unverwechselbarer Stil zeichnet sich durch subtile Charakterpsychologie und eine rohe Ehrlichkeit aus, die den Leser in die intimen Landschaften ihrer Protagonisten eintauchen lässt. Bell fängt meisterhaft flüchtige Momente und ergreifende Wahrheiten mit einem scharfen Blick für Details und einem Hauch von Melancholie ein. Ihre Arbeit erforscht Themen wie Einsamkeit, Verbundenheit und die Suche nach Sinn in der heutigen Welt.

Culled from The New Yorker, Paris Review, and Medium, including several brand new previously unpublished gems, Inappropriate collects Bell's best short comics form the last couple of years.
"One of the best things going in auto-bio inflected comics these days." -- Art Spiegelman, Maus
This anthology of comics inspired by real-life missed connection ads posted on Craigslist and in local papers around the country will tug at your heartstrings and make you think. Lonely hearts, romantics, and even cynics pore over missed connection ads in search of love, to gawk and giggle, or out of curiosity. These posted stranger sightings and chance encounters lay bare the truths and oddities of real-life loneliness and attractions and bring out the voyeur in the best of us. I Saw You takes this phenomenon and makes it even better.Julia Wertz has gathered the stars and soon-to-be-stars of the graphic art world, including Peter Bagge, Jesse Reklaw, Tom Hart, Sam Henderson, Laura Park, Emily Flake, Keith Knight, Janelle Hessig, Gabrielle Bell, Aaron Renier, Austin English, Corinne Mucha, Jeffrey Brown, Alec Longstreth, Minty Lewis, Joey Sayers, David Malki, Kazimir Strzepek, Ken Dahl, Shannon Wheeler, Shaenon Garrity, Rodd Perry, Abby Denson, Damien Jay, Sarah Glidden, and dozens more, to interpret these plaintive, hopeful postings in drawings that range from laugh-out-loud funny to disarmingly strange.
