Alec: The King Canute Crowd

Summary: An Inspiration
Review: It's extremely gratifying to see Eddie Campbell's Alec collected again and available on Amazon. I remember reading these comics back in the mid-80's. Self-published by photocopier, often with hand-coloured covers, they redefined for me what comics were about, and what they could be about. These intimate, real-life, semi-auto-biographical stories of a British guy, his mates, his girlfriends and his life were a revelation and have inspired a generation of comics writers and artists. If you have any interest in serious comics, then you should buy this book.
