Trent is a light tragedy with music about the dangers of Hope and the delusions of Love. When Bob and Doris lose their baby boy, Trent, to a foolish mistake, they fall back on the old optimism of the classic musical. Singing their pain away and defying their doubts, their love of Trent teaches them that just because someone is gone it doesn't mean you stop loving them.
Written by Dino Stamatopoulos, the writer and actor who immortalized Starburns on "Community," and illustrated by Leah Tiscione, with a complete, free, downloadable soundtrack featuring the singing voices of Scott Adsit, Britta Phillips and Jay Johnston, bathe in the glory that is the graphic novel that launched Starburns Industries into comics.
TRENT is a special book for special people. It's probably not for you.
“...as pessimistic as “Trent”(is), it still (ends) up hopeful, in its own sick way.”
-Andy Richter, Conan
“I'm not sure who this would appeal to.”
-David Cross, Mr. Show
“Dino wrote the greatest scenes on Mr. Show! Here is a book that digs deeper into his alternate universe. Comic and unsettling. It's a perfect dose of Stamatopouli.”
-Bob Odenkirk, Breaking Bad
“Trent is trenchant, funny, disturbingly and unremittingly strange. How it results in something so touching is anyone's guess. Maybe it's the singing.”
- Charlie Kaufman, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
“Half way through...Bold. Original. Painfully real...Will finish tomorrow..”
-Dana Carvey, The Dana Carvey Show
