Saint Cole

In critically acclaimed cartoonist Noah Van Sciver's new graphic novel, angry, alcohol-fueled Joe works overtime at a pizzeria to support his ever-expanding family€•and he wants out.

This sophomore graphic novel from Noah Van Sciver may seem like a left turn from his critically acclaimed debut graphic novel biography of Abraham Lincoln (The Hypo), yet upon closer reflection, it showcases Van Sciver€s preoccupation with pathos and the human condition. Saint Cole depicts four days in the life of a twenty-eight-year-old suburbanite named Joe, who works at a pizzeria to support his girlfriend Nicole and their infant child€•and then Nicole invites her troubled mother to move into their two-bedroom apartment until she lands on her feet again. Joe reacts by retreating into alcohol: he wants out, and he's angry. He€s in a position to act rashly€•and he does.
