Alex Robinson’s Book Is Too Cool To Be Forgotten

There are many parts of our teenage years we’d like to put behind us: acne, braces, and “the first time,” just to name a few. But the story of Andy Wicks in the new graphic novel Too Cool To Be Forgotten, created by Alex Robinson, might open a few wounds.

In the book, which drops in July, Robinson explores what happens to a 40-year-old cigarette addict who gets transported back to high school as soon as he puts on a nicotine patch. Coming up as a pupil of the late, great Will Eisner, Robinson’s earned fanfare for his emotive tales like Box Office Poison. After the jump, check out a few preview pages from Too Cool to get the gist.
