Debuting in 2004 with the publication of SCOTT PILGRIM'S PRECIOUS LITTLE LIFE, Bryan Lee O'Malley's Eisner Award-winning, New York Times best-selling SCOTT PILGRIM series has garnered universal acclaim as one of the 21st century's most successful and influential entries into the canon of graphic literature. Chronicling the adventures of 19-year-old Toronto native Scott Pilgrim as he meets the literal girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, only to find himself battling a gauntlet of her seven evil exes, the series' runaway success across six graphic novel volumes paved the way for 2010's much acclaimed SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD feature film adaptation – directed by Edgar Wright and starring Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Brie Larson, Chris Evans, and many more – and 2023's SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF! – the award-winning Netflix anime series that reunited the entirety of the feature film's original cast.
This October, join Bryan Lee O’Malley and Oni Press to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic graphic novel series that IGN calls a "landmark . . . that will reverberate through the comic book world for years to come” with the Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Signing Tour – coming soon a town near you!
