Alec comic books issue 1

1st printing. Story and art by Eddie Campbell. Eddie Campbell has created a graphic novel about the rise and fall of the graphic novel itself, and along the way draws potent conclusions about the very nature of art. It is a graphic novel about becoming and artist and making your way in the world as an artist. The narrative teems with established luminaries as well as `would be` artists. Many are briefly examined while a few have been made the subjects of penetrating case histories in this cavalcade of dreamers, fools and sudden millionaires. Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 128 pages, B&W. Cover price $13.95.

1st printing. Story and art by Eddie Campbell. Eddie Campbell gathers together for the first time three of his smaller books of the early '90s: Graffiti Kitchen, a story of foolish passion held by many to be his best work ever; Little Italy, about a Scotsman arriving to live in the tropics; and the multi-faceted Dance of Lifey Death. These short works fill the spaces between the two larger Alec books, The King Canute Crowd and How to be an Artist and are essential reading to followers of comics about real life as well as a delight to the most casual browser. Softcover, 7-in. x 9 3/4-in., 144 pages, B&W. Cover price $14.95.

"One of the most Original artists working in the comic strip medium, Eddie Campbell's skill is that of the great storyteller, who can happily let the point of the tale slip away, so intriguing is his manner of telling." - NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS

"Alec is magic...I like it because it fills me in on what would have happened to Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady if they'd traded in the Lincoln for a Ford Transit and moved to Southend-On-Sea. On the Pier as opposed to On the Road." - ALAN MOORE

"There's more to this stuff than the gags, but the puzzled good humour of MacGarry as 'life happens to him' is the endearing factor for me in all of the stories." - BRIAN BOLLAND.

Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 138 pages, B&W. Mature Readers
