Eagle Valiant Brosi was raised in an unconventional, back-to-the-land hippie lifestyle in the Appalachian foothills. Despite his non-traditional beginnings, Eagle conformed to the standard life of an American capitalist. He works from home, making a computer sigh and groan. In this routine, days pass by without much human interaction. His garden, however, provides a contrast to the quiet work life. Among rows of tomatoes, beans, zucchini, summer squash, he enjoys the good company of slugs, mosquitoes, and bumblebees. If he closes his eyes hard enough, he forgets about the life he was supposed to lead and who he was supposed to be.
""Eagle Valiant Brosi tells us a complicated story with dogged simplicity. In Black Cohosh, idealism and love are thrown together with delusion and selfishness; awful harm is tangled up with care. This is the kind of comic that made me want to make comics--it's the kind of comic that let me know what was possible."" --Eleanor Davis
