Over the past four years, the Scott Pilgrim series of digest-sized comic books have earned a cult following for their blend of comedy, romance, and absurd video game-style action. The books follow the adventures of Scott Pilgrim, a charismatic slacker from Toronto who falls in love with a girl named Ramona Flowers, and discovers that he must fight and defeat all seven of her evil ex-boyfriends in order to stay with her. The series’ creator Bryan Lee O’Malley speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
