Alec: Love and Beerglasses

A single, self-contained issue from 1985, Alec: Love and Beerglasses is the debut of Eddie Campbell's semi-autobiographical series published by Escape Publishing. This slim volume introduces the character of Alec, a young artist navigating the mundane and absurd realities of life, art, and friendship. It marks the beginning of Campbell's long-running exploration of the everyday, a quiet yet influential work that helped define the autobiographical genre in British independent comics.
