The Lovely Horrible Stuff: My Book About Money

Money makes the world go round, as they say... but HOW, exactly?
Award-winning graphic novelist Eddie Campbell (From Hell, Alec)
presents a fascinating journey into the wilderness of personal finance. With his
trademark blend of research, anecdote, autobiography, and fantasy, Campbell
explores how money underwrites human relationships, flowing all around us like
the air we breathe - or the water we drown in. The result is a whimsical
graphic essay, deeply grounded in Eddie's personal experiences with "the lovely
horrible stuff," ranging from the imaginary wealth of Ponzi schemes and
television pilots to the all-too-tangible stone currency of the Micronesian
island of Yap.

In a world where drawing corporate superheroes requires literally
transforming oneself into a corporation (which is kept in a shoebox under the
bed), we are in strange territory, indeed. Fortunately, Campbell's wry eye and
vivid full-color artwork imbue the proceedings with real humanity, making The
Lovely Horrible Stuff an investment that's worth every penny.
