Peops visually and verbally documents the artists, activists, writers, anarchists, and musicians Fly met during a nationwide tour with her band, God Is My Co-Pilot. The result is a memorable gallery of all manner of characters eking out an existence, and occasionally finding joy, on the edges of modern capitalist culture. This graphic tour of America's counterculture includes 100 color and black-and-white illustrations.

You'll start mentally peop-ing the people in your life,
By Ayun Halliday "Author of No Touch Monkey!" (Beautiful Brooklyn New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Peops: Portraits and Stories of People (Paperback)
Fly has made a beautiful tribute to her outside-the-mainstream East Village friends and neighbors. Completely compelling and bears infinite rereads. This is a real slice o' New York living. I learned a lot about people I've wondered about for years.
