That's the line in issue 1 that really stood out to me because it's so true right now. HIGHBALL is the story of a man who drinks to succeed. There's some great gags about drinking in HIGHBALL, but in a lot of ways\u003cb\u003e this is a story about the hangover of late stage capitalism\u003c\/b\u003e.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e - Fred Harper (Artist) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeet Highball, ace pilot of the Earth Space Corp. He's the best shot in the galaxy, except for one big problem: he can only hit the target when he's dead drunk \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the far future, Earth's finest pilot, call-sign HIGHBALL, finds himself caught between two alien races: the arrogant, cerebral Mentok and the fierce, birdlike Q'k'q'rr'kkk. In his one-man Byter ship, Highball must defuse an alien bomb and survive against a vicious enemy. But Highball has a deadly weakness: He can only hit the target when he's stone drunk. In his quest to save the galaxy, Highball stumbles headfirst into obstacles such as nefarious space enemies, fellow pilots, the maddening bureaucracy of Space Corp--and, of course, his own shameful inadequacies! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eHighball\u003c\/i\u003e collects all 5 issues of the comic book series written by Stuart Moore (\u003ci\u003eThe Zodiac Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e) with art by Fred Harper (\u003ci\u003eSnelson: Comedy is Dyring)\u003c\/i\u003e and colors by Lee Loughridge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStuart Moore\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, a book editor, and an award-winning comics editor.
