Amelia Rules! #7
In "Fables of the Reconstruction," Jimmy Gownley crafts a quietly powerful chapter in the Amelia Rules! series, where long-standing tensions thaw as Amelia and Ira find common ground. With Rhonda’s bold bluff and a dramatic helicopter crash in a war zone that stuns the whole group, the kids confront fear and solidarity in equal measure—especially when Captain Driscoll is found alive and returns home, and Tanner begins mending her bond with Amelia ahead of the town’s bicentennial. A heartfelt, character-driven story drawn and lettered by Gownley, this issue captures the fragile, hopeful rhythm of growing up.
