Description
For five years Chris Ware has been drawing amazingly innovative 'comic strips' about a character called Jimmy Corrigan - a boy with the face of a disappointed old man. Here for the first time Ware's strips are assembled in a beautiful hardback, every inch of which, including an extraordinary fold-out jacket, has been designed by Chris Ware. Jimmy Corrigan has rightly been hailed as the greatest comic/graphic novel ever to be published.
Reviews
A bona fide masterpiece. * Strong Words *
