Mais derrière Lucy la gothique, Evan est persuadé que se cache toujours la Lucy d''avant. Celle avec laquelle il a inventé et dessiné des années durant la bande dessinée secrète qui raconte leur histoire. Evan veut retrouver cette Lucy-là, pour savoir s''il est encore son ami ou peut devenir son petit ami... Mais est-ce que les contraires peuvent s''attirer ? Et leur amitié peut-elle se transformer en amour ? « Deux amis d''enfance luttent pour préserver leur amitié d''enfant qui évolue en histoire d''amour, en proie à mille pressions de la vie extérieure, dans ce roman illustré remarquable. » Kirkus Review

Cute girls dig him. He has his own fan club But he wasn''t always this awesome. He used to be Mr. Comic Book, a resident of Lonelyland. So when he swtiched schools, he slapped on a grin and went from big nerd to big shot. Meet Happyface. This is his journal. This unique combination of text and fully integrated art follows the journey of a dorky, quiet, artsy kid as he reinvents himself after moving to a new town, where he''s nicknamed Happyface. Peek in his journal and see the world through his hilariously self-deprecating eyes as he learns to shed his comic-book-loving, computer-game playing ways. Join him as he makes new friends, tries to hide from his messy past, forgives the people who have hurt him most, and ultimately learns to face the world with a genuine smile.

Between 1997 and 2006, countless comic strips poured out of cartoonist Stephen Emond''s room in the shape of "STEVERINO!," the tale of a sad-sack hopeless romantic and his quest for that special anyone. "STEVERINO!" was printed and sent out as a self-published 25 page book each month and eventually went on to gain praise and correspondance from syndicate editors, win national prizes, and a earned a space in local Connecticut shoreline newspapers. Read this book and see the mountains of effort that go into shaping a series and perfecting an idea. From what works to what doesn''t, from rejection letters to editor feedback and the applications of that feedback, documented here is the true evolution of a cartoonist! Emond is the author of EMO BOY and HAPPYFACE, and as those books and STEVERINO! will show, he lays it all out in the open in his intensely personal works. Witness a decade of heart and devotion, the rise and fall of STEVERINO.
