I am one of the hundreds of young people who have a love and lust for comic books. I just found out that Adrian the author of optic nerve and other awesome things is coming to london on the 3rd of Febuary for a singing at GOSH Comics! HOLY FUCK is all that can be said.
For the past few years I have rigiously collected optic nerve and fell head over heels with the awkard dialouge and stories that make you feel like a voyuer in to real lives. When Shortcomings came out, that last three issues of ON but in graphic novel form and summing up the whole story of character Ben Tanaka and his relationships and lifes I read it in two hours, and then read istagain. I cried at Adrians representation of romantic relationships and related that my own fucked up views and feeling about them to his work.

also the fact that this was created by him makes me love his art:
I highly recommend getting into Optic Nerve and venturing to Gosh. (I'm skipping my third year class to just see him, This is more important than pop punk.) If you can't start at issue one then get shortcomings or his collection of early works and odd bits. You won't be dissapointed!

nothing is more important than pop-punk, jesus....! xx
