Beautifully illustrated, and full of interesting facts. The point is to humanize Pat, showing all of her quirks, flaws, and cooler qualities

"Flung Out of Space" is a great graphic novel with intriguing artwork and a captivating narrative. Surprisingly, I found Patricia Highsmith's fictionalized character to be quite relatable and portrayed in a more sympathetic light. The story skillfully depicts her as a complex individual grappling with personal struggles and unresolved resentment. A delightful and well-crafted read that left me wishing for more pages.
