Too Much Coffee Man: The Original Comic Books #1-9

Shannon Wheeler

Starting out as a mini-comic character, Too Much Coffee Man turned into a long-running newspaper strip, Eisner-winning comic book series, Converse shoe commercial, one of the first webcomics, and an opera. The semi-autobiographical, hyper-intellectual, high-concept comic appeals to both inside and outside the comic book world. It's caught the zeitgeist of the 90s and, unlike many other characters of the time, continues to hold social and political relevance. Even Henry Rollins says Too Much Coffee Man is "the only comic I would really pay attention to, because I like the idea. Too Much Coffee Man has a lot to say. He's a great apocalyptic philosopher for our very troubled times." Holy crap! That's Henry Rollins. This book collects the Too Much Coffee Man 1-9 comic books, originally self-published from 1992 to 1998. It includes new essays that contextualizes, and give insight, to the original work.
