‘Grommets’ Gets Collected In July By Image Comics

Nostalgic ’80s skateboarder adventure series Grommets – taken from the slang term coined in the ’60s – by writer Rick Remender (Napalm Lullaby, Deadly Class, LOW), comedian and writer Brian Posehn (Deadpool, The Mandalorian, Scotch McTiernan: Holiday Party), artist Brett Parson (Tank Girl), and colourist Moreno Dinisio (Black Science) is to be collected trade paperback and available this July from Image Comics.

“In Grommets, two outcast best friends navigate the Sacramento suburbs of 1984, where they find a home in skateboard culture and punk rock. The perfect read 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.”

Remender commented on this new collection: “To share such a raw part of ourselves with the world and have it received so warmly—it’s truly the most any creator can hope for. At Giant Generator, we let creativity and love guide our choices, because that’s the only way to connect on a sincere level. And when it does, it’s a beautiful thing.”

Grommets trade paperback collects Grommets #1-7, and is out in comic book stores on Wednesday, June 25th and bookstores and online book sellers on Tuesday, July 8th.
