More About the Author
Donna Barr is the author of the classic comics series, "The Desert Peach," following the life of the Desert Fox's fictional gay brother. She is also the author of "Stinz," about a civilized, rural centaur stallion, and "Bosom Enemies," which has been called a fable about slavery.
She is the author of such prose novels as "Permanent Party," her fictionalized memoir of life as a WAC in the early 1970's; "Bread and Swans," continuing stories of the life of The Desert Peach"; and "An Insupportable Light," the original novel that led to the "Stinz" series. It's about how wars get started when no one wants them and both sides think they're right.
All her series continue in "Afterdead," the afterlife of the Desert Peach, where all her characters meet and interact in new and amusing roles. Afterdead collections 1 and 2 are both available at Amazon.com, as are her prose novels. Robotcomics is processing all her books for use on Kindle.

"Donna Barr shows herself to be one of the heralds of the forthcoming age -- doing her comicbook in such a way as to satisfy her own insight, awareness and inspiration." -- Dave Sim, Cerebus.
"That's the haken crux, (that) each character in Pfirsich Rommel's battalion is just a soldier in the field; he might be a dog-face, fed, reb, tommy, poilu -- he happens to be a kraut. These guys are not political, nor even particularly patriotic -- they're regular bewildered zchlubs, trying to survive in a situation nobody would choose.
"What we have seen so far is enough to assure us that good taste and decorum will at least be attempted, that Donna Barr will continued to show us events, through an arrangement of mirrors so elaborate that we can never know for sure at whom we are looking, never be sure at whom we are pointing when we say 'Ecce homo!'" -- Daniel Pinkwater, "Young Adult Novel"
