Reger, Rob

(1969-    ) US Comics writer and author of the Emily the Strange sequence, for a readership extending upwards into the Young Adult range, beginning with Emily the Strange: The Lost Days (2009) with Jessica Gruner; the sequence is based on earlier manifestations of the protagonist, mainly as a Comics protagonist. The stories are presented in diary form, allowing for a sparky narrative surface, though little depth (yet). Emily's dilemma is initially Amnesia, and her various Superpowers and Time Travel excursions, and much else, grow from her need to discover her past, and so forth. [JC]
