Bob Fingerman, who South Park / The Book of Mormon's creator Trey Parker has described as "a brilliant satirist, artist and mind," has returned to his signature series Minimum Wage after a fifteen-year break. Spurred by assembling last year's definitive collection of the '90s era material, Maximum Minimum Wage, Fingerman is thrilled to be creating new material. Minimum Wage Volume 1: Focus on the Strange collects the first six all-new chapters, as well as a ton of bonus material including the covers and a huge guest artist gallery featuring pin-ups by Bill Sienkiewicz, Farel Dalrymple, J. Bone, Joe Flood, and Brandon Graham. Picking up the story in spring of 2000, freshly separated Rob Hoffman is trying to reassemble his life. Only 25, he's going through a divorce, his finances are in ruins, and he's forced to move back in with mom.
