Mayorga, Liz--"Not Today: An Illustrated Essay About Arya Stark and Surviving 2020," 3rd edition, June 2021

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 1

Abstract

From the back cover: "This is a fanzine about Ayra Stark. It started as a collection of GOT-inspired drawings and writings, but it became a way for me to process 2020, American politics, and the pandemic. If you have not watched the HBO Game of Thrones series, this fanzine will consists of major spoilers. But if you have watched the series, this fanzine will help you revisit memorable scenes with some character analysis, and--hopefully--all of this will be as cathartic for you as it has been for me."
