Career in Comics
After graduating from Evergreen she moved to Seattle. When she was 23, the Chicago Reader picked up her comic strip, enabling her to make a living from her comics alone. She later moved to Chicago, Illinois.
Barry's early work was rendered with pen and had a distinctly New Wave, '80s look.
In her latest books, One! Hundred! Demons! and What It Is, she works with color and collage.
Barry has moved her line of comics primarily onto the web.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
