Discovered During the Move!  PLEASE NOTE:  This copy is "ex-library" and has stickers on the spine, on the front endpaper, and (a very small one) on the back cover.  It also has the library name stamped on the top page edges.  Otherwise, pretty nice.  All interior pages are unblemished.  Photo in listing is of actual copy for sale.

A massive  450 page graphic novel from Germany written and drawn by a 40-something Austrian.  The recipient of several major European awards, including the Revelation Award at the 2011 Angoulême Festival, Today Is the Last Day was originally published as Heute Ist Der Letzte Tag Vom Rest Dienes Leben by Avant-Verlag, Berlin, Germany in 2009.  It is presented here in an edition edited and translated by - surprise! - Kim Thompson (who else?).  Set in 1984, Ulli Lust's tale chronicles the eventful journey the then 17 year-old author takes with her best friend from her home in Vienna to the island of Sicily.  Sex & drugs & rock 'n' roll and more are here for the reader's enjoyment.  Take a moment to savor this generous PDF preview provided by Fantagraphics.  This work has accumulated much critical acclaim in Europe, but we'll leave you with this quote from someone whose opinion we know you'll respect:  "Ulli Lust really nails my favorite part of storytelling.  Bumming cigarettes, learning how to hitchhike – the small details that create great character." – Jaime Hernandez
