Josh has a long chat with cartoonist Alex Robinson, just as his new book Too Cool to be Forgotten is about to be released.

Alex Robinson is one of Josh's favorite comic book creators. He's the man behind the mostly slice of life graphic novels, Box Office Poison and Tricked, as well as the recent Alex Robinson's Lower Regions. This week sees the release of Robinson's newest graphic novel, Too Cool to be Forgotten, the story of a man who is transported back to his high school days, while retaining his 40 year old mind and memories.

Josh went to Alex's studio, and they talk about all the books, Alex's career, as well as a look at how he actually works, right down to the nuts and bolts of lettering and inking.

There are superhero and adventure comics all over the place, but for comics about (mostly) real people, with characters and situations you'll relate to, as well as a powerful emotional punch, Robinson's work with Top Shelf Productions is hard to beat, and they make great comics for anyone.
