5.0
A Canadian cartoonist by way of the former Yugoslavia, Bunjevac delivers emotional, beautifully-striking stories in the mode of a deranged O'Henry/Burns/Crumb cross pollination. Each of these five tales delivers a unique, both graphically and story-wise, perspective into these darkly abusive male realities. Bunjevac's often submissive women suffer, survive, and at times thrive. Nothing typifies this more than the volume's excellent centerpiece "Bitter Tears of Zorka Petrovic," which chronicles the lead character's obsession with a male prostitute. Complete with a gallery of illustrations, Heartless, Bunjevac's first collection, successfully introduces this unusual artist's work to the masses.
