It’s a completely different kind of story from BOP, and I imagine that threw a lot of readers off. I’ve read some reviews and interviews with you, and it seems like some people were disappointed by it. I had a chance to e-mail some questions to Alex recently, and below is the transcript. Robinson’s black and white art that’s more reminiscent of newspaper cartoon strips than the latest issue of X-Men pulls readers into an intimate relationship with the characters. Both intricately weave together the lives of several people. While “Box Office Poison” (BOP, for abbreviation’s sake) is a story of pretty average folks struggling through the daily grind in New York, “Tricked” is a pseudo retelling of the John Lennon story. Now, Robinson is the creator of two highly regarded comics (“Tricked,” his second effort, is available now) that are sold in bookstores like the one he used to work at.
After reading his first graphic novel, “Box Office Poison,” it’s very clear that he didn’t enjoy the job. Alex Robinson worked in a big-city bookstore for seven years after graduating from high school in 1987.
