Alcoholic (HC)

Written by Jonathan Ames
Art and cover by Dean Haspiel

IN THE PROUD TRADITION OF DRUNKEN WRITERS EVERYWHERE...

...comes the tale of Jonathan A., a boozed-up, coked-out, sexually confused, hopelessly romantic and of course, entirely fictional novelist - who bears only a coincidental resemblence to real-life writer Jonathan Ames, critically acclaimed author of WAKE UP, SIR!, THE EXTRA MAN and WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE.

For the fictional Jonathan, writing and drinking come easy. The hard parts of life are love and hope. From a touching relationship between Jonathan and his aging great aunt, to an inebriated evening with an amorous, octogenarian dwarf, to the devastating aftermath of 9/11, Ames's first original graphic novel, with gritty, poignant art by Dean Haspiel (THE QUITTER), tells a story at once hilarious, excruciating, bizarre and universal, about how our lives fall to pieces and the enduring human struggle to put things back together again.

Featuring gritty yet poignant artwork by Dean Haspiel, THE ALCOHOLIC marks Ames' hilarious yet heartbreaking graphic novel debut.
