I have to admit I love Box Office Poison. Not for the story so much as the creative use Robinson makes of the comic medium. He's not afraid to create a separate picture with the panels or use overlapping speech bubbles to show a stream of consciousness. He also does a pretty good portrait of wasted lives in New York City. But I love him more for tricks like drawing Ed the way he imagines himself during a drunken dance or having an angel dog motif throughout the chapter about a character's dog dying.
