From the National Book Award-winning, bestselling author Nate Powell comes an intense time-tripping graphic novel capturing the transitional 1990s and the weird kids who fall through the cracks-perfect for fans of�Everything Everywhere All At Once,�Killing Eve, and�Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With MeThe year is 1992. Diana Bogue is a personality too big for her small Arkansas town-a runaway who dyes her hair platinum, studies the occult, sings like an angel, and dominates the local punk scene through the force of her personality. Even when being in the "cult of Diana" is too much for them, her friends Jody, Steff, Napoleon, and Todd can't help but be pulled into her vortex. But under the surface, Diana struggles to outrun damage from a repressive religious past. She only shares these struggles with her dearest long-distance pen pal-who she keeps hidden from her other friends. Until one day, he's never heard from again. Untethered and fiercely protective of what she considers hers, Diana turns even more inward, blending music and homegrown sorcery in hopes of outrunning reality. But even she can't turn back time . . . or can she?
