Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl SC (2007) comic books 1970 or later

1st printing. Written by Barry Lyga. Fanboy has never had it good, but lately his sophomore year is turning out to be its own special hell. The bullies have made him their favorite target, his best (and only) friend seems headed for the dark side (sports and popularity), and his pregnant mother and the step-fascist are eagerly awaiting the birth of the alien lifeform known as Fanboy's new little brother or sister. But, midst the brewing chaos that is his life, Fanboy has a secret: a graphic novel he's been clandestinely working on that will lead to publication, fame, and - most importantly of all - a way out of the crappy little town. Enter: Kyra, a.k.a. "Goth Girl" - a cynical girl who shares his love of comics and inspires him to ignore or crush anyone who stands in his way! Softcover, 5 1/2-in.x 8-in., 316 pages, Text Only. Cover price $8.99.
