Mean Girls Club Summary

Mean Girls Club: Pink Dawn by Ryan Heshka

The Mean Girls Club have been laying waste to the town for years, and Mayor Schlomo is hell-bent on their destruction. He has other plans for the town's young women... brainwashing and sexual servitude. And so the Mayor blackmails a young mechanic by the name of Roxy to infiltrate the Clubhouse - but Roxy's feisty attitude lands her an initiation into the Club instead! Torn between her obligations to her dying grandfather, the Mayor's dirty threats, and her unexpected friendships with the Mean Girls, will Roxy help the Girls to bring down the Mayor's cult once and for all?

Mean Girls Club 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
