Story and art by Reid Chancellor.

Punk rock and mental health have been intertwined since the very beginning.

Nervous breakdowns, anxiety, seeking acceptance, attempting to overcome internalized demons, and reacting to harmful and oppressive systems-punk rock embodies and emboldens all our feelings and experiences, positive and negative. Hardcore Anxiety charts and tracks punk movements from the 70s till today, from small towns to stadiums, from the struggles in our heads to the people actively harming us in our communities.

Told from the point of view of a young man discovering punk and working through mental illness, this stunning nonfiction graphic novel gives punks the most important advice of all: "You aren't alone. You're going to make it through alive."

Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 192 pages, B&W.

Cover price $14.99.

1st printing. Story and art by Reid Chancellor. When you listen and scream along to your favorite punk or hardcore band, does that help your mental health or reinforce your frustrations? Artist Reid Chancellor leads us on a tour through hardcore musicians that have struggled with mental health-and written about it in their songs. In this graphic novel, Chancellor picks up the discussion he began in Hardcore Anxiety, in an engaging narrative that will be deeply relatable to anyone grappling with identity, fear, and loss in the mosh pit. Punk opens the door to speaking out about mental health issues, but it doesn't always encourage you to walk through the door and get help. Chancellor props that door open with humor and vulnerability, asking the question, "Why aren't there more hardcore songs about seeing your therapist?" That's a song we all might need to hear. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 192 pages, B&W. Cover price $16.99.
