About The Book

Z2 Comics and the Chris Farley estate come together to bring you a new graphic novel.

Joining Saturday Night Live in 1990, Farley helped define an entire decade’s comedic taste with high-energy antics and accessible, goofball humour. His too-short-but-sweet film career (Tommy Boy alone!), is nothing short of iconic, with many legacy sketches (“Chippendales”) and appearances fully in the cultural conscience to this day.
