Peeeer inside the seedy underbelly of the comic world and into the brain of a comic writer gone mad with this week's staff pick - Zdarsky Comic News: Eighteen Months I Can't Get Back. (No seriously this book is real fun and delightful and Chip is awesome we love him)

The cover for Zdarsky Comic News: Eighteen Months I can't get back. It's got a very tired looking chip zdarsky collapsed on the ground on the cover against an orange brick background where the words "Who watches the watchmen" has been spray painted over with "Oh god please buy my comics" in pink spray paint.

The book sits on one of our new comics displays with the Chip Zdarsky "you should read my --" "Of course chip zdarsky" meme that Elise and sloane made, alongside both of their picks for this week's book of the week.
