Cosmic Debris and
Emily the Strange have evolved gradually over
the past 13 years. What started on the streets and in nightclubs now
appears in high-fashion magazines worldwide. Emily has achieved street
credibility, a cult-like status and is now an international icon. The
first
Emily the Strange comic was a sell-out smash and continues
to be a hit with Emily die-hards as well as the general comic community.
