wow!
when it comes to europe…?
Why do these tours never come to Chicago? I sense a plot …
Didn’t you know? There’s a gentleman’s agreement… Chris Ware does not visit New York, Art Spiegelman does not visit Chicago.
This book is a reprinting of his early work, surrounded by an autobiographical essay about his life with comics. Lots of expiremental work, and thus worth the price!
