About this title

Review:

"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." --Brian K. Vaughan, author of Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina, and Saga

"My favorite comic of the year." --Jeff Smith, creator of Bone

"With this slim volume, Robinson cements his reputation as a master cartoonist." --Publishers Weekly

"Touching and funny ... By the story's end, wish fulfillment has become something much more challenging and, frankly, beautiful. There's a lot going on in this little book." --Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

Synopsis:

From the critically-acclaimed cartoonist behind "Box Office Poison" and "Tricked" comes the delightful "2 Cool 2 B 4Gotten", a story of second chances. Andy Wicks is a forty-something father of two who's making one final attempt to quit smoking: hypnosis. He's skeptical it will work, but is stunned to find that when he emerges from his trance, he's fifteen years old - and it's 1985! Is he doomed to relive the worst four years of his life or will this second go-round finally give him the answers he's been missing all his life? If nothing else he'll finally get to ask out Marie Simone from history class...
