Too Cool to Be Forgotten

Alex Robinson’s Too Cool to Be Forgotten is a standalone graphic novel from Top Shelf, published in 2008. Robinson writes and illustrates this single-issue story, a poignant and humorous time-travel tale about a middle-aged man who, through hypnosis, is sent back to his awkward teenage years in the 1980s. With its sharp character work and nostalgic yet clear-eyed look at adolescence, the book stands as a memorable entry in Robinson’s acclaimed body of slice-of-life comics.
