This first-ever collection by the award-winning team of siblings Peter and Maria Hoey encompasses the very best of their inventive and mysterious comics.

Welcome to the first-ever collection by the award-winning team of siblings Peter and Maria Hoey, encompassing the very best of their inventive and mysterious comics. This compilation ranges from the Hoeys' early comics in Blab! Magazine to their groundbreaking Coin-Op series.

All in all, it's more than twenty short stories and vignettes -- about music and film, the comic and the absurd, the past and the future -- all sparkling with innovative storytelling and design.
Though they live on opposite coasts, illustrators Peter and Maria Hoey work closely together. Trading drawings back and forth over the internet from their studios in Northern California and Brooklyn, the brother and sister team produces drawings for clients like The New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Magazine. In addition to illustration, the Hoeys began writing and drawing comics in Blab! Magazine in the late 1990s, then launched their self-published comic book series, Coin-Op, in 2008.
"Spectacular... each page is a feast for the eyes. This is a striking assemblage of two decades of challenging, entertaining, and crisply beautiful stories." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"It’s official: Coin-Op is the most wonderful new comic series you haven’t heard about yet.” — Paul Constant, The Seattle Review of Books

“Peter and Maria Hoey are among the very best illustrators in comics.” — Rob Clough, High-Low
