Synopsis

A native New York bruiser is fed up with life in the dregs of a drug-addled Alphabet City where his neighbors are shut-ins and his bicycle is always getting stolen. He escapes from Manhattan to make a fresh start in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, only to face a new strain of street logic—where most everything he encounters is not as it seems.

Emmy award-winning artist on HBO's Bored To Death—Dean Haspiel's comics include The Fox with Mark Waid, The Alcoholic with Jonathan Ames, and The Quitter with Harvey Pekar.

Review:

"If you’re a fan of Haspiel’s then you should definitely pick up Beef With Tomato. It’s a wonderful collection of stories that are well told, but even better it’s accompanied by Haspiel’s talented artwork. And if you’re just a fan of autobiographical stories, then it’s a no duh for you to pick this one up." Dustin Cabeal, Comic Bastards

"Haspiel’s art is wonderfully immersive in establishing a sense of place, and he has a keen eye for balancing the humorous, the tragic, and the mundane." Publisher's Weekly

". . . Although the observant reader will find elements of both Jack Kirby and Will Eisner in Haspiel’s style, he never loses his own artistic voice. His art is robust and brash and powerful . . ." Jason Wilkins, Broken Frontier

"Beef With Tomato is definitely recommended for people looking for a solid slice of life narrative, and/or NYC natives looking to wax nostalgic." — Matt Lacroix, Trouble with Comics
