"Eisner Award winner Moa Romanova returns with an autobiographical graphic novel about accompanying her rock star bestie on a U.S. tour, fueled only by alcohol, drugs and sex"--

"How do you prevent history from repeating itself, and is it possible to protect the one you love from themselves? When the Eisner award-winning cartoonist Moa Romanova (Goblin Girl) joins her rock star bestie on a U.S. tour, life quickly turns chaotic, as adolescent trauma begins to haunt her. Buff Soul tackles addiction, friendship, and loss in a rollicking road trip adventure involving selling speed, breaking bones, massive hangovers, drug withdrawal, and shooting guns in the desert. What begins as an insanely comical, hedonistic road trip takes a dark turn when her best friend disappears. This event triggers an adolescent trauma she had yet to reckon with, leading Romanova to confront the reality of how far she's let her self-destruction go." --
