From a multiple-award-winning cartoonist, Noah Van Sciver, comes Maple Terrace, a new autobiographical graphic novel. Based on the author's childhood, Maple Terrace unfolds a tale of big money comic-collecting craze of the early 90s as seen from the ground floor. In a time when superheroes were oversized, adorned with massive guns, and countless pouches, comic books were currency! Young investors struggled to collect every cover gimmick under the sun—embossed-metallic ink-holographic foil—hoping they someday would pay for their college education. Brutally hilarious, Maple Terrace shines a light on the strange intersection between poverty and speculative comic book craze of the 90s.

Noah Van Sciver is a multiple award-winning cartoonist who first came to comic readers' attention with his Eisner-nominated comic book series Blammo.

Van Sciver was a regular contributor to MAD Magazine and has written and drawn numerous bestselling graphic novels, including One Dirty Tree, the Fante Bukowski: Struggling Writer series for Fantagraphics books, and Joseph Smith And The Mormons for Abrams in 2022. In 2015 he was the Artist in Residence/fellow at the Center For Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, Vermont. His books and comics have been translated into more than six languages worldwide.
