Too Much Coffee Man: Cutie Island has been announced by BOOM! Studios.
The 192-page graphic novel, to be published under the BOOM! Town imprint, is the first new material featuring Shannon Wheeler's anxiety-riddled superhuman to appear in print in four years.
"I bought one of the original Too Much Coffee Man mini-comics from Shannon himself back in Austin in 1990. Shannon and I go back that far, so it's with great pride and joy that I point out that Shannon Wheeler is one of the alt-comix greats," said BOOM! chief creative officer Ross Richie.
"I've avidly followed his continued posting of Too Much Coffee Man online and couldn't help but want to bring it all to print."
BOOM! editor-in-chief Matt Gagnon added: "This character has been vital and relevant for 20 years and continues to be one of the gold standards in comic book humour.
"Too Much Coffee Man is an icon in the indie world and we have a chance to continue the legacy. Shannon's long-underwear hero has displayed decades-long staying power. This beautiful graphic novel collects great new stories any fan, or Too Much Coffee Man beginner will adore."
Wheeler signed a three-book deal with BOOM! earlier this year. The creator previously contributed to the I Thought You Would Be Funnier collection, released under then BOOM! Town imprint in 2010.
Too Much Coffee Man: Cutie Island, written and illustrated by Wheeler, will be available in February, 2012.
