An all new, 208 page, full color, debossed hardcover graphic novel from Noah Van Sciver.  What more do you need to know?

Within these 208 pages, Noah Van Sciver sketches out a full-bodied portrayal of another beautiful loser, à la Fante Bukowski, only this time as a rock 'n' roller.  Rufus Baxter is a rock star wannabe who believed in himself – too much – to the detriment of those around him, but also, ultimately, to himself, in this fully-fleshed out yet enactment of the proverb , "pride goeth before the fall."  Yet, also, Noah clearly still sympathizes with Rufus, and also allows that he is a memorable character, and grants him the status of being an original who remained true to himself; an ambivalent portrayal, to be sure. It's up to you, the reader, to pass judgement; or not.  Regardless, Beat It, Rufus is an engaging read, employing the patented Van Sciverian blend of humor and pathos topped off wirth a garnish of bathos.  Lots of rock 'n' roll tropes explored and exploded for fun and pleasure. 

We've posted some panels and pages up at the Copacetic Tumblr, HERE.
