WE ALL GOT SOMETHING TP (MR) (30 Apr Release)

When you’re always searching¸ you might just surprise yourself with what you find After a rocky attempt at living in London with his partner¸ Lawrence finds himself single¸ broke¸ and back at home in Compton with his mom and great-aunt¸ moping from bed to kitchen table and back to bed again¸ with long layovers on the front porch to sit and watch the world pass him by. Everything had been so good—a degree¸ an animation internship¸ paid music gigs¸ the perfect girl. How the heck did Lawrence get knocked so far down¸ with such little semblance of his former life remaining to hold him together? Well¸ that’s a long story… Set to a cacophonous soundtrack of church praise¸ playground noise¸ bus-stop camaraderie¸ and Pacific Ocean waves¸ Lawrence Lindell’s heartbreaking—and heartwarming—We All Got Something recounts a tragic and random act of violence¸ the PTSD that follows¸ lost love¸ and coming to terms with the underlying mental health crises sabotaging it all. A testament to the healing power of art and the vital role community plays in the process¸ Lindell’s graphic memoir is deeply personal and specific¸ but also relatable —because we all got something. The follow-up to Lindell’s Eisner-nominated and Excellence in Graphic Literature Award-winning graphic novel Blackward¸ We All Got Something brings Lindell’s love of the comics community into a different light¸ and shows the author exploring deeper and darker corners of his past¸ with his signature blend of humor¸ heart¸ and cartoony lines.
