Publisher's Synopsis

Oaf is a large, hirsute, scary-looking ex-wrestler who lives in San Francisco with his adorable kittens and listens to a lot of Morrissey. The book follow's Oaf's search for love in the big city, especially his pursuit of Eiffel, the lead singer of the black metal / queercore band Ejaculoid. Ed Luce deftly weaves stories of the friends, associates and ex-lovers of both men into the story of their courtship. A romantic comedy at its core, Wuvable Oaf recalls Scott Pilgrim (Fourth Estate), Love and Rockets (Fantagraphics) and Archie (Archie Comics).

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
