Description: Breaking Bad meets Where the Heart Is in a story inspired by writer Dennis Hopeless' own experiences.
A desperate mom will do anything to keep her family afloat--and grand theft auto is just the start. It's summer 1984 in Deepwater, Missouri, and Jean's husband has just scrambled his own eggs in a horrific car wreck. That, Jean can handle. The fifty thousand dollars worth of cocaine missing from his trunk? That's a little harder. What's a good woman to do? She'll start by throwing "good" out the window. Stealing cars and chopping them up makes a living, if not a great one. But the criminal life isn't exactly family-friendly, and it sure as hell ain't easy. Inspired by events from writer Dennis Hopeless' own childhood, She's Running on Fumes is a heartfelt, bittersweet exploration of what keeps a family together, now in print for the first time!Brief description: Dennis Hopeless is a Harvey Award Winning writer best known for his work on Marvel's X-Men, Spider-Woman and Avengers Arena.
