The second book from Chris Ware, whose first book, 'Jimmy Corrigan', has been widely acclaimed as one of the medium's finest graphic novels in history and is currently in a third hardcover printing, 'Quimby' cleverly appropriates old-fashioned animation and imagery and puts it at the service of modern angst and existentialism. Saturated with Ware's consistently amazing graphics, insanely perfectionist production values, and formally complex narratives, this book is sure to reaffirm his reputation as one of the most prodigious artists of his generation. With b/w illustrations.
