“OCTOBER 12, 1994. IT WAS FOUR MONTHS AFTER WE FINISHED FILMING THE SHOW AND LEFT THE HOUSE, AND THREE MONTHS AFTER PEDRO WAS FIRST HOSPITALIZED.”

Pedro Zamora changed lives. When the HIV-positive AIDS educator appeared on MTV's The Real World: San Francisco, he taught millions of viewers about being gay and living with AIDS. Pedro's roommate on the show was Judd Winick, who created Pedro and Me to honor Pedro Zamora, his friend and teacher and an unforgettable human being. First published in 2000, Pedro and Me was a graphic novel pioneer. Its moving portrait of friendship and its urgent message have already reached thousands of people. Now, Pedro's story is reintroduced to today's graphically focused culture with a gorgeous, eye-catching new cover and a foreword from Judd. by Judd Winick
