Scott Pilgrim - Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life: Volume 1 (Scott Pilgrim, Book 1)
The first installment in the brilliant ‘Scott Pilgrim’ graphic novel series from Bryan Lee O’Malley, writer of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off – now a major Netflix series.
Scott Pilgrim’s life is totally sweet.
He’s twenty-three years old, he’s in a rock band, he’s ‘between jobs’, and he’s dating a cute high-school girl. Nothing could possibly go wrong, unless a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott’s awesome life get turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona’s seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle? The short answer is yes. The long answer is ‘Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life’.
'Scott Pilgrim is the best book ever. It is the chronicle of our time. With Kung Fu, so, yeah: perfect.' Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer -
'One of the best things to happen to printed comics this millennium.' Ain't It Cool News -
'A hilarious, idiosyncratic gem.' Washington Post -
'A great oddball tale that captures the energy of a generation.' Publishers Weekly -
'An inventive, genre-tweaking tale of young love, platonic bed-sharing and epic battles unlike anything else you will likely pick up. So, go on, pick it up.' E! Online -
'Scott Pilgrim is the best 23-year-old ever. Like Proust's Swann, he has a story that takes multiple volumes to unfold, except Pilgrim is even more awesome because he's in a comic book … the series is wildly enjoyable for its absurdist humor, its indelible characters and its growing, inevitable sense of melancholy as Pilgrim becomes that most terrifying of things: 24 years old.' Glen David Gold, author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside -
