Jessica Abel's Trish Trash To Also Be Published In English

Earlier this year, American comic book creator of works such as Artbabe, Jessica Abel had her comic book Trish Trash: Rollergirl Of Mars translated into French and published by Dargaud.

The only thing is, it hadn't actually been published in English yet.

Indeed, it won't be until November from US imprint of Papercutz, Super Genius.

Just one of those things…

Trish Trash: Rollergirl of Mars is the story of a 7-and-a-half year old girl on Mars (that's 15 in Earth years). Like most Martys, she and her family struggle to survive. There's no water to speak of on Mars, despite Earth astronomers' predictions, something no one can explain. Everyone is up to their necks in debt to Arex ("We Are the Air You Breathe") ever since their forerunners shipped over from Earth as indentured servants to escape the Meltdown on Earth. And if you can't pay your debt with oras on Mars, Arex has got a berth for you, mining some godforsaken asteroid. It's not a death sentence, but if you die out there, Arex will generously erase your personal debt. If you just lose your mind, well, that's on you.

Trish's Tío Robo is a moisture farmer out in the Candor Chasma, and her Tía Selima is a botanist. Her parents…they've been missing more than an (Earth) year, since just after they reported spotting some Martian natives on their last anthropological research mission.

The long and the short of it is: Life on Mars. Not great. What is great? Hover derby. Trish has every intention of becoming a top jammer and making it onto the Boreale Bombers. It's not a ticket off Mars (there's no such thing) but at least in Boreale you don't have to wear a radsuit all day.

Publishing a French original album is something Abel has been planning to do since she attended Angoulême in 1998. It only took eighteen years for the publication of volume 1, and volume 2 has already been completed…
