Deep Girl

Ariel Bordeaux’s Deep Girl ran for five issues between 1993 and 1995, a short-lived but sharply observed alternative-comics series from the early ‘90s indie boom. Created and primarily written by Bordeaux, with art by Bordeaux and Spain Rodriguez, the comic chronicles the misadventures of its disillusioned young protagonist navigating love, friendship, and dead-end jobs. It stands as a raw, funny, and poignant document of Generation X malaise, showcasing Bordeaux’s distinctive voice and her ability to balance absurdity with genuine emotional weight.
