Sometimes I need a fix so bad. My dealer -- Minneapolis' Big Brain Comics -- is still waiting on those new releases, but I'm jonesing... bad. So with shaky hands, I flip the switch and let the computer's blue glare flood my face. My eyes glaze over and I fall back into my chair with a giant grin. The world of online comics -- a sort-of dopamine substitute for the preferable paper version -- will sate me today. And you? Is your graphic novel habit interfering with personal relationships or work? If so, you too may have a problem. It can help to know that you're not alone. Here's a list of resources you can turn to for help. (And if you're not yet a comics or graphic novel junky, well, it can't hurt to try just one sweet taste, right?)
