1st printing. Cover by Maria Hoey, Peter Hoey. REAL LIFE COMIX: ONLY IN NEW YORK features 51 short stories in a sprawling, high-voltage, graphic memoir anthology celebrating the grit, glory, absurdity, and heart of life in New York City. Co-edited by veteran comix creators Dean Haspiel and Doug Latino, this vibrant collection brings together a wildly eclectic mix of legendary and emerging voices, including New Yorker cartoonists, MAD contributors, and AMERICAN SPLENDOR collaborators.
