Lisa Cheese Signing w/Kevin Alvir

  • East Side Mags 491 Bloomfield Avenue Montclair, NJ, 07042 United States (map)

Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar: Attack of the Snack seems like an average graphic novel for middle school aged kids but under the surface lies something extraordinary!

Taking relatable life situations: a job you can’t stand, parents that don’t understand, failed dreams and combining them with fantastic elements like a bionic arm, a unicorn and a demonic burger corporation - Lisa Cheese & Ghost Guitar is SO MUCH MORE than what you would expect and certainly it’s anything BUT average!

About the book: Lisa is a sweet unicorn girl with a cyborg arm… and anger issues… who’s late for her first day of work. And if this occult fast food chain’s minions don’t stop attacking, she’ll never achieve her dream of making it as a musician!

Lisa Cheese moved to Earth City hoping to make a name for herself as a folk singer… but her very first open mic was a disaster, leaving her with a bionic arm and an identity crisis. Now she’s starting a crummy office job, her parents back in their home dimension are laying on the guilt trip, her sister’s acting smug, and the cool girl at the record store leaves her tongue-tied. But none of that will matter if the city’s demonic new burger corporation achieves its evil ambitions: Lisa’s very life is at stake! Fortunately, she has allies…
