Synopsis
Compulsive Comics collects the very best of Eric Haven's inverted-comic book-consciousness and genre-bending short stories. Includes the controversial story “I Killed Dan Clowes,” where the main character fatally hits acclaimed graphic novelist Daniel Clowes and then immediately goes on to accidentally kill another fan favorite, Adrian Tomine. Haven's surrealist, self-reflexive, and superbly rendered comics surprise at every turn and showcase an inherent joy for the comics medium.

Review
“Combining the sky’s-the-limit outrageousness of golden age superhero comics with the hip sensibility of a modern indie cartoonist, these stories are delightful and unlike anything anyone else is producing. Not to be missed.”
- Library Journal Starred Review
“Humor, horror, and the existential all blend into one, while Haven mixes his own cocktail of pulp and wry self-awareness.”
- Omnivoracious
“Compulsive Comics is a wonderful bit of weird. I don't think I've come across such an eclectic mix of hilarity and horror and wonderment.”
- Under the Radar
“Compulsive Comics offers good laughs and vigorous surrealism.”
- Comics Beat
