Lucass guide for surviving freshman year: make new friends, be yourself . . . and save Hawkins. Lucas Sinclair is tired of feeling like an outsider.

Will Lucas be able to find his place in Hawkins in time to save it?

    We All Got Something GN (2025 Drawn and Quarterly) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. Story and art by Lawrence Lindell. After a rocky attempt at living in London with his partner, Lawrence finds himself single, broke, and back at home in Compton with his mom and great-aunt, moping from bed to kitchen table and back to bed again, with long layovers on the front porch to sit and watch the world pass him by. Everything had been so good-a degree, an animation internship, paid music gigs, the perfect girl. How the heck did Lawrence get knocked so far down, with such little semblance of his former life remaining to hold him together? Lawrence Lindell's heartbreaking-and heartwarming-We All Got Something recounts a tragic and random act of violence, the PTSD that follows, lost love, and coming to terms with the underlying mental health crises sabotaging it all. A testament to the healing power of art and the vital role community plays in the process, Lindell's graphic memoir is deeply personal and specific, but also relatable-because we all got something. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 168 pages, B&W. Cover price $21.95.
