Box Office Poison

Alex Robinson's Box Office Poison is a sprawling, character-driven indie comic published by Antarctic Press from 1996 to 2000, spanning 21 issues. Written and drawn entirely by Robinson, it follows a group of twentysomething friends navigating the messy, often mundane realities of life, work, and relationships in New York City. The series stands as a landmark of the late-90s alternative comics scene, celebrated for its warm, naturalistic dialogue and its quietly epic, slice-of-life storytelling.
