Coles Official Comics: A Compilation of Excessive Frankness at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Step back into a world where pens scratched, Zip-A-Tone crackled, and a young cartoonist chased big ideas with small tools. In this warm and wildly entertaining collection, decades of underground, campus, and alternative-press comics come together - born in classrooms, dorm rooms, print shops, and late-night bursts of irreverence.
From makeshift word-balloon mischief in grade school to brushes with the Vietnam-era counterculture, to run-ins with principals, publishers, professors, and even Robert Crumb himself, this book traces the unlikely evolution of a cartoonist determined to draw... even when nobody asked him to.
Featuring restored artwork, eccentric characters, forgotten oddities, political jabs, and gloriously unmarketable experimentation, Official Comics is both a time capsule and a celebration of creative persistence. Whether you're a comics fan, a nostalgist for the pre-digital age, or simply someone who loves a good story about doing what you love anyway - you'll find plenty to enjoy in these pages.
