We're excited to stock this gem of a comic from creator Jesse Lonergan! As a lifelong comic fan and car guy I have to admit that I've always felt the comic medium tends to come up short on stories and art around car culture and racing. I came across this comic after hearing Jim Rugg briefly mention it on an episode of the incredible Cartoonist Kayfabe. After finally tracking it down I was blown away, and instantly knew I had to get it in The Curb Shop to help spread the word and get it in the hands of our customers. The sheer inventiveness and creativity in visual storytelling is inspiring to say the least.
From the Publisher:
Who truly knows what a premiere racer is thinking while behind the wheel, we can only imagine the lives that play out on the speedway. Join the motley cast of racers in Jesse Lonergan's Faster, a visually engrossing display of racing, and the people who can't help but race. Can perpetual runner up Molly Vox finally pull ahead of Kona Demille, the five-time world champion? Find out in Faster! For young adults and older.

Press for Faster:
“…filled with over-the-top characters and experimental sequences of comic book storytelling which push the medium to its limit. […] Each component of comic storytelling feeds into each other as part of a singular vision that’s a rarity in American comics.”
