BOTTOMS UP! True Tales of Hitting Rock Bottom! https://buff.ly/2vbX9Zk is a 256-page, perfect-bound, B&W with full-color covers, anthology written and illustrated by various artists. Edited by J.T. Yost and published by Birdcage Bottom Books.

This massive comic is filled with personal stories of people at their lowest points in life, all thanks to various forms of addiction. Alcohol and drugs seem to weave a common thread through most of the stories, however pornography and sex, among a few other things, prove to be the bane of some of the contributors’ existence. Through each story the allure and excitement of the addict’s vice eventually leads them to self-loathing and the realization that they need to make changes in their life.

Each story provides a unique perspective on addiction as seen through the eyes of the person that experienced it. Anxiety, paranoia, homelessness, and overdoses all rear their ugly head as the subject of the stories encounter rejection, betrayal, family issues, and much more. The comic ends with a simple message, “Get Help,” and goes on to provide a list of different places where help can be found.

The anthology’s editor, J.T. Yost, writes up front that this is his attempt is to “humanize addiction” through the real stories as told by the actual addicts. As I read each story I can say J.T. certainly achieved that goal. This is by no means a feel good or funny comic, this is a slice of life that many people choose not to look at until it finds its way into their lives…and sadly that happens all too often.

As a brief respite from my own subject matter, I've attempted to pay tribute to a few kooky denizens from Josh Burggraf's world. These fellows are from his incredible collection of "quiet" comics, A33. This book can be purchased from the good folks at Birdcage Bottom Books, along with his other fine comics.
