Theater Hopper - Year One

Tom Brazelton's Theater Hopper - Year One (2006–present, Aardvark Global Publishing Company) collects the earliest installments of his long-running webcomic, a warm, lightly satirical look at movie fandom through the eyes of a hapless, popcorn-obsessed protagonist. As both writer and artist, Brazelton grounds each strip in the quirks of theater-going culture, from overpriced concessions to overheard audience chatter. This debut issue captures the series' original charm, establishing the deadpan humor and relatable cinephile anxieties that would define its decade-plus run.
