Book Overview

Celebrating the Prime Video series adaptation, the eighth volume of Brubaker and Phillips' groundbreaking crime series returns to print with a stunning new cover painting and design.

Teenage Ellie has always romanticized drug addicts, those tragic artistic souls drawn to needles and pills, ever since the death of her junkie mother ten years ago. But when Ellie lands in an upscale rehab clinic where nothing is as it appears to be, she'll find another-more dangerous-romance, and discover how easily drugs and murder go hand-in-hand.

An Eisner-Winner for Best Graphic Novel 2019 - My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies is a seductive coming-of-age story, a pop and drug culture-fueled tale of a young girl seeking darkness... and what she finds there.
