About the series
In The Trouble with Girls (1987–1988, Malibu), writer Gerard Jones, co-writers Will Jacobs and Tom Mason, and artist Tim Hamilton chronicle the misadventures of hapless everyman Lester Girls, whose life is perpetually upended by romantic and social entanglements. This 14-issue series blends sharp humor with relatable awkwardness, capturing the late-80s indie-comic spirit with a focus on character-driven storytelling rather than superheroics. A cult favorite for its witty, grounded take on the trials of young adulthood, it stands as a charming artifact of Malibu Comics' eclectic early lineup.
