FRIENDS IS FRIENDS HC

Friends Is Friends tells the story of complicated friendships through a series of funny, bittersweet vignettes.

The result is a fable for adults, where the only clear moral is this: friendship isn't easy, whether you're a hobo or a snowman or a ghost. Friends Is Friends is indie-favorite Greg Cook's first major work in over a decade. This long-awaited tragicomedy is a great stand-alone work for both new and established graphic novel readers.
