Book description
Scott Pilgrim's life is totally sweet.
He's twenty-three years old, he's in a rock band, he's 'between jobs',
and he's dating a cute high-school girl. Nothing could possibly go
wrong, unless a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable,
rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through
his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott's awesome life get
turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona's seven evil
ex-boyfriends in battle? The short answer is yes. The long answer is
'Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life'.
"Scott Pilgrim is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our
time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect." Joss Whedon, creator of
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"One of the best things to happen to printed comics this
millennium." Ain't It Cool News
"A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem." Washington Post
"A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a
generation." Publishers Weekly
"An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic
bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick
up. So, go on, pick it up." E! Online
"Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust's Swann,
he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is
even more awesome because he's in a comic book … the series is wildly
enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its
growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most
terrifying of things: 24 years old." Glen David Gold, author of
Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside Bryan Lee O'Malley is an
award-winning Canadian cartoonist. He has been working on a series of
graphic novels called Scott Pilgrim. He writes the words and draws the
pictures. He occasionally makes music under the name Kupek.
