ALEC : the years have pants

For the first time ever, the pioneering autobiographical comics of mastercartoonist Eddie Campbell (From Hell) are collected in a singlevolume!Brilliantly observed and profoundly expressed, the ALEC storiespresent a version of Campbell's own life, filtered through the alter ego of"Alec MacGarry." Over many years, we witness Alec's (and Eddie's) progression"from beer to wine" - wild nights at the pub, existential despair, thehunt for love, the quest for art, becoming a "responsible breadwinner," feelinglost at his own movie premiere, and much more!

Eddie's outlandish fantasies andmetafictional tricks convert life into art, while staying fully grounded in hisown absurdity.

This Life-Size Omnibus edition of ALEC includes all the stories fromThe King Canute Crowd, Three-Piece Suit, How to be anArtist, and After the Snooter, as well as the very early,out-of-print ALEC stories and a staggering amount of bonusmaterial.
