Bryan Lee O'Malley before Scott Pilgrim.

Eighteen-year-old Raleigh doesn't have a soul. A cat stole it. Or at least that's what she tells people. Or at least that's what should tell people if she told people anything. So how did she end up on a cross-country road trip with three classmates she barely knows?

Bryan Lee O'Malley's first graphic novel, published eight months before Scott Pilgrim Vol 1, has become a quiet classic for anyones who's ever been eighteen, or confused, or both.
