About This Book
Winner of the Harvey & Ignatz Awards for Best Graphic Novel.Indie Book of the Year -- Wizard MagazineMost indie film should be this good. -- Entertainment WeeklyA master of the slice-of-life indie comic genre. -- Publishers WeeklyA drama and a thriller that plays to the real strength of the medium. -- VarietyCarefully and cleverly structured. . . . Such an accomplishment is no easy trick. -- TimeIf Brian Bendis is comics' David Mamet, and Grant Morrison its David Cronenberg, then Alex Robinson is its Robert Altman. -- Matt Singer, The Village VoiceBrilliant . . . Robinson's work has the potential to appeal to comics fans who don't normally read alternative comics and to readers who normally avoid comics entirely. Highly recommended. -- Library JournalI've read a lot of excellent graphic novels this year, but I haven't read a better one than Tricked. A wonderful piece of work about life and the mistakes we make and the demons that drive us. -- Heidi MacDonald, Comics Buyer's GuideAlex Robinson, the master of true-to-life relationship drama (Library Journal), has created another tour de force. Tricked follows the lives of six people -- a reclusive rock legend, a heartbroken waitress, a counterfeiter, an obsessive crank, a lost daughter, and a frustrated lover -- whose lives are unconnected until an act of violence brings them spiraling in on each other. Combining intriguing characters with a story structure that is both complex and innovative, Tricked is not to be missed. Now in an all-new hardcover edition with a brand new cover to boot!
