Please visit the website and check out the awesome cover and the preview pages we have showcased there. Here are all the details, plus a few online reviews already in, and the feature interview with Alex at Publishers Weekly: TOO COOL TO BE FORGOTTEN -- a 128-page HARDCOVER graphic novel, 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" "This is Alex Robinson's best book, and one of the rare comics not written by Stan Lee to perfectly capture the tragedy and triumph of being a teenager. Totally recommended." Andy Wicks is a forty-something father of two who's tried everything to quit smoking -- from going cold turkey, to the latest patches and nicotine chewing gums -- so he figures he'll give this hypnosis thing a try. What's the worst that could happen? Unfortunately, Andy gets dealt a fate worse than death -- high school! Transported back to 1985, Andy returns to his formative years as a gangly, awkward teenager. Is he doomed to relive the mistakes of his past, or has he been given a second chance to get things right? One thing's for sure: this time he's going to ask out that girl from math class...
