Drinking at the Movies Returns From Koyama Press

Julia Wertz’s Drinking at the Movies revitalized the graphic memoir genre for me when it came out in 2010 from Three Rivers Press, a paperback imprint of Random House. However, it’s now out of print from them, to be republished by Koyama Press, who put out Wertz’s followup, The Infinite Wait and Other Stories.

The new edition of Drinking at the Movies will be out in November for $15. They’re promising “brand new material from Wertz” and, as you can see promoed on the cover, an introduction by Janeane Garofalo. I’m glad to see the book kept available, and I’m wondering if the new material will address the issues of alcoholism raised by the book’s content.
