Girl in the Attic

Requiem — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:48:54 +0000

Girl in the Attic is a small comic by Hyein Lee, who, in her own words, is an “engineer turned illustrator”.

It’s a quick read, only 6 pages long, yet it’s a really powerful story.

“The Girl in the Attic is a very powerful comic. Could you talk about the process of writing and creating that?

I’m grateful that you found it powerful. It actually happened to me and I grew up often worrying about that girl in the attic. When I was in Sheridan College, my wonderful teacher, Blair Drawson gave us an assignment: look at the mirror and tell yourself everyday, “Among many things, I am a writer”. That simple exercise gave me a confidence to write my own stories. I started to show my dark stories that I haven’t told anyone. I think stories that are closest to your heart is the most engaging.”

” The Story

When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when i woke up I’d find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. It looked familiar. Its name was ickle. Welcome home, my milk toof! “

You can find ickle and Lardee on MY MILK TOOF‘s blog, you don’t need to wait for the book to join them on some of their cute little adventures.
