Box Office Poison

Never seen a page from this before!  Robinson was racking up awards for this and was one of the big indie talents that emerged out of the new millenium.  No doubt influenced by autobiographical comics because he put so much into these scenes.  

This was the first Non-Superhero comic I read as a kid simply because it was the biggest one on the rack at Borders books and I'd read all the others and his stuff really expanded my views on what a comic could be beyond the standard superhero vs supervision fare.   I was lucky enough to meet him in the early 2000s and he was super nice and down to earth.  Big influence on me.
