Box Office Poison Love Life

Graphic novels are slowly becoming more and more of a new form for literature than they've ever been. And with the rise in more mature graphic novels, comes the growth in more grown out audiences. From gore and murder, to sex and appealing to one specific demographic, graphic novels have constantly been growing out to more people in different backgrounds, and more areas of interest. 

One such novel is Box Office Poison. From this story, it tells of a writer named Sherman living his life in New York after a breakup with his former girlfriend. It later tells of his time finding a new apartment in the city, where he falls for one of the tenants to the building Dorothy. 

The whole comic follows Sherman from his past experiences with his ex girlfriend, to moving on and hoping to find a new life ahead of him as a writer. It also deals with personal issues that we all face with in our futures. From adulthood to relationship issues, the general idea of the story is based on real life issues that can relate more to us than simple comic books.
