She also defies female stereotypes right and left, and that is pretty darn cool."-Cindy Whitehead, founder of Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word"STREET ANGELl remains as charming, inventive, and pitch-perfect as it was in the beginning. An indie-comics classic!"-Hope Larson (Compass South, Batgirl)"I thought I didn't like comics about kicking ass, but it turns out I REALLY like comics where the ass-kicker is a 7 year old girl. A+++ more ass-kicking please."-Eleanor Davis (Libby's Dad, How to Be Happy)"With great style and flair, Rugg delivers another stellar story of the ever-sassy Jesse Sanchez a.k.a. Street Angel.
