This stereotype-busting graphic novel subverts 1950s clichés to bring you an utterly wild, pink-tinted trip in Ryan Heshka’s unmistakably cool style.

The Mean Girls Club have been laying waste to the town for years, and the power-crazed Mayor Schlomo is hell-bent on their destruction. He blackmails a young mechanic named Roxy to infiltrate the Clubhouse – but her feisty attitude lands her an initiation into the Club instead!

Torn between the sleazebag Mayor’s dirty threats and her unexpected friendships with the Mean Girls, Roxy holds the fate of the Club in her hands…

Industry Reviews
"This satisfying revenge comedy arrives at just the right time to appeal to readers hungry for payback against gropers and grabbers."
--Library Journal

"Mean Girls Club: Pink Dawn is a revenge story that brilliantly subverts the standards of the era it portrays. From the limited color palette to the dialogue to the masterful line art itself, the book bleeds style."
--Foreword Reviews

"[...] nostalgic pulp genre fans will get a kick out of the expressive art style and rowdy sexploitation references."
-Publishers Weekly

"Resembling an old noir film on acid, Heshka's pink-and-black art is the big draw here."
--Barnes & Noble

"Serving up full throttle exploitation with its eponymous gang, Heshka swerves into pop surrealism and sly satire, touching on both the gorgeous and grotesque with equal ease."
--Katie Skelly, The Comics Journal

"Those who enjoy the visuals will likely find something of interest here, particularly if they're willing to surrender into the setting. If you like the kitsch of 50s "women in prison" films, this is the book for you."
--Comics Worth Reading

"Mean Girls Club: Pink Dawn feels like the ultimate revenge fantasy for all the women out there who fight to be heard and struggle against the patriarchy as a whole. [...] Every page is filled with stunning art by Ryan Heshka and a story that makes you want to go out and form your own gang of bad ass women."
--Rogues Portal

Praise for Mean Girls Club [17 x 23 Comic]:

"Ryan Heshka's new release from Nobrow Press (as part of their wonderful 17 x 23 series) is going to blow your mind."
--Boingboing

"The Mean Girls Club is a subversive look at the cliches of Hollywood's Golden Age wild on a pink tinted acid trip. While it is a quick and light read, this one-shot will make you a lifetime member of the Mean Girls Club."
--Previews Indie Edge

"The story is fun. It's a blast to read [...] I would 100% recommend this to people to check out."
--Comic Bastards

"It's honestly batshit crazy in the best way possible" - Women Write About Comics

"Ryan Heshka's Mean Girls Club is a short, adorably, ridiculously amoral tale [...] would make a great gift for the bad-girl lover in your home." - Okazu

"Ryan Heshka plays on the cliches of 1950s Hollywood noir. He subverts the sadomasochistic high-heeled, overly made up wannabe movie stars sirens of the time (think LA Confidential on acid?) and turns it up to levels of ear-drum busting craziness." -Down the Tubes
