Winner of the Eisner Award for Talent Deserving Wider Recognition, the International Comics Festival Award for Best Debut Graphic Novel (Angouleme, France), and voted by Wizard Magazine as the best indy graphic novel of all time.
"A convincing, absorbing and satisfying fictional portrait of post-college life in New York City." -- Publishers Weekly
"A salute to comics, an exploration of the human condition, and a solid, absorbing, and riotously snide tale about at least half of the things that make life important." -- Tasha Robinson, The AV Club
"Box Office Poison is a novel complex enough to provoke Book Talk. I even marked panels with post-it notes as I was reading so that I'd remember to show them to my friends." -- Kelly Sue DeConnick, Artbomb.com
"The comic book equivalent of the world's best pineapple upside-down cake: layer upon layer of rich dramatic goodness." -- Matthew Craig, Robotfist.com
"Box Office Poison is to the comic book culture as Almost Famous is to that of rock and roll." -- Chris Tamarri, The Daily Targum
This 608-page epic story of Sherman, Dorothy, Ed, Stephen, Jane, and Mr. Flavor is a true comics masterpiece. Alex Robinson's completely natural and inspiring knack for dialogue makes this story of dreary jobs, comic books, love, sex, messy apartments, girlfriends (and the lack thereof), undisclosed pasts, and crusty old professionals one of the most delightful and whimsical graphic novels to hit the stands in years. -- 608 pages

 "By basically transcribing a completely mental D&D session into comics - down to healing potions and backstabbing, which must be this week's theme - Alex Robinson's made the only Red Sonja comic I'd want to read. For $7, it's a perfect stocking-stuffer for the gaming nerd(s) in your life." --Kevin Church, BeaucoupKevin.com
"Lower Regions is a firecracker of a comic spin on sword and sorcery . . . just plain fun to read . . . this little book just explodes in your hands and face." -- Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin
"The absence of dialogue actually makes Alex Robinson’s Lower Regions more clever than one might think . . . . Any gamer that recognizes the inherent -- or inadvertent -- comic qualities of many tabletop D&D sessions should appreciate Robinson’s Lower Regions all the more. Appreciate them. Appreciate them now." --Kurt Amacker, Mania.com
"It's really quite accomplished, for all its seeming absurdity .... an immensely fun and surprisingly rewarding trifle." --Tim O'Neil, The Hurting

WINNER OF THE HARVEY AWARD FOR BEST ORIGINAL GRAPHIC NOVEL!

"With this slim volume, Robinson cements his reputation as a master cartoonist." --Publishers Weekly
"Touching and funny ... By the story's end, wish fulfillment has become something much more challenging and, frankly, beautiful. There's a lot going on in this little book." --Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing

 ALEX ROBINSON'S MASTERPIECE IS COMING BACK (WITH AN ALL NEW COVER DESIGNED BY MATT KINDT) IN AUGUST!
Winner of the Harvey & Ignatz Awards for Best Graphic Novel.
"Indie Book of the Year" -- Wizard Magazine
"Most indie film should be this good." -- Entertainment Weekly
"A master of the slice-of-life indie comic genre." -- Publishers Weekly
"A drama and a thriller that plays to the real strength of the medium." -- Variety
"Carefully and cleverly structured. … Such an accomplishment is no easy trick." -- Time
"If Brian Bendis is comics' David Mamet, and Grant Morrison its David Cronenberg, then Alex Robinson is its Robert Altman." -- Matt Singer, The Village Voice
"Brilliant … 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 Journal
"I'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 Guide
Alex 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 its 2nd printing, sporting a brand new cover to boot! -- A 352-Page Softcover Graphic Novel (with an all new cover designed by Matt Kindt)
