Issue Description

The 2009 Omnibus collection of Eddie Campbell's Alec stories.
Contains contents of:

The Complete Alec Alec: The King Canute Crowd How To Be An Artist
Graffiti Kitchen
After the Snooter The Dance of Lifey Death
And the Brand New 35 paged exclusive story "The Years Have Pants", as well as rare and/or never before seen material.

For the first time ever, the groundbreaking autobiographical comics of master cartoonist Eddie Campbell (FROM HELL) are collected in a single volume!

Brilliantly observed and profoundly expressed, the ALEC stories present a version of Eddie'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, the hunt for love, the quest for art, becoming a responsible breadwinner, feeling lost at his own movie premiere, and much more! Eddie's outlandish fantasies and metafictional tricks convert life into art, while staying fully grounded in his own absurdity. At every point, the author's uncanny eye for irony and wry self-awareness make even the smallest occasion into an opportunity for wit and wisdom. Quite simply, ALEC is a masterpiece of visual autobiography.
