| Clocking in at 608-pages (!), this epic story of Sherman, Dorothy, Ed, Stephen, Jane, and Mr. Flavor is not to be missed. Alex Robinson's completely natural and inspiring knack for dialogue has made his story of dreary jobs, comic books, love, sex, messy apartments, girlfriends (and the lack thereof), undisclosed pasts, and crusty old professionals one of the most delightful and whimsical graphic novels to hit the stands in years.
This is a new-edition (with new cover art) of one of the funniest and most touching graphic novel collections of recent years, with characters you will recognise and sympathise with from your own life. Robinson also has a new collection, Tricked, out in August 2005.
Winner of the Prix du Premier Album [Best Debut Graphic Novel] at the international comics festival in Angouleme, France in 2005.
"A convincing, absorbing and satisfying fictional portrait of post-college life in New York City." Publishers Weekly
"A salute to comics, an exploration of the human condition, and a solid, absorbing, and riotously snide tale about at least half of the things that make life important." Tasha Robinson, The Onion AV Club
"Box Office Poison is a novel complex enough to provoke Book Talk. I even marked panels with post-it notes as I was reading so that I'd remember to show them to my friends." Kelly Sue DeConnick, Artbomb.com
