Two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. Perfect for fans of John Hughes' Brat Pack teen movies, Freaks & Geeks, and Dazed & Confused. GROMMETS is both an authentic look at '80s skate culture-a snapshot of the generation that turned skating into a worldwide phenomenon-as well as a heartfelt coming-of-age story following two friends from troubled homes, navigating their damage in an era when no one cared. The series' title sprints from skater slang. A 'grommet' is a commonly used term for a young up-and-coming skater or surfer. Since the '60s, it's been used to describe the next generation of kids who, with youthful exuberance, love the sport but want to put their spin on it. Collects GROMMETS #1-7 Select praise for GROMMETS: 'GROMMETS captures the raw feeling of being an outcast kid in the 1980s, and why skateboarding became such a sacred salvation to a lucky few. The graphics, attitudes and language of that era are represented with a rare authenticity that will leave you wanting more.' -Tony Hawk 'A truly unique tone in the marriage of script and art that is equal parts cartoonish and sincere to deliver some big laughs and surprising depths.' -**ComicBook.com** 'Tackles a weird time in music and culture with the utmost integrity, hilarity, and passion to spare.' -**AIPT** 'A humorous examination of the terrors of adolescence and the euphoria of finally finding a close friend. Definitely a breezy, summer read.' -**Graphic Policy** 'A heartwarming and visually wonderful look into a tiny slice of '80s nostalgia that will ring true for anyone who's experienced what it's like to find friendship in otherwise hostile environments.' -**Major Spoilers**
