Too Cool to Be Forgotten #[nn]

Alex Robinson's Too Cool to Be Forgotten is a 2008 Top Shelf graphic novel that wears its tone right on its clean, unpretentious cover — a simple green-and-white design centered on a cartoonish portrait of a bespectacled, slightly awkward-looking teenager, framed in a warm circular vignette. The understated design has a quiet confidence that feels perfectly matched to a story about youth and memory, and with Robinson handling every creative role himself — writing, art, inking, and lettering — this is a singular, fully personal vision from cover to page.
