Contribution: Adaptation of Aristophanes Lysistrata
” Two of ancient Greece’s greatest plays are adapted—the tragedy Medea by Euripides and Schrag’s uninhibited rendering of the very bawdy comedy Lysistrata by Aristophanes (the text of which is still censored in many textbooks)” – The Graphic Novel Reporter
“Valerie Schrag drafts excellent line work in her adaptation of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata” –The Austin Chronicle
” Valerie Schrag draws the sex-starved men in ‘Lysistrata’ with huge erections.” – The New York Times
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE, Viking Children’s Press 2007
“Edited by underground comics icon Ariel Schrag, this anthology of illustrated
tales about the agonies and triumphs of seventh and eighth grade features some of America’s leading graphic novelists, including Daniel Clowes, Joe Matt, Lauren Weinstein, and Ariel herself. With a sense of humor as refreshing as it is bitingly honest, seventeen artists share their stories of first love, bullying, zits, and all the things that make middle school the worst years of our lives.”
