Jimmy Corrigan, or, the smartest kid on earth.

Pantheon, New York. 2000. First edition. Hardcover. Illustrated boards. With an illustrated dust jacket which folds out to a poster. Unpaginated [380 pp]. Oblong. 21½ x 17¼ x 3½ cm. 862 gr. ISBN-10 0375404538. ISBN-13 9780375404535. Expanded upon from Ware's Acme Library strip, this is widely considered one of the greatest - if not the greatest - examples of the form. In this comic/graphic novel, which won the Guardian First Book Award 2001, Jimmy Corrigan, a lonely and emotionally-impaired man has the opportunity, at the age of 36, to meet his father for the first time.

Jimmy Corrigan is certainly the greatest thing in strip cartoons since Krazy Kat and Little Nemo -- Raymond Briggs

Ware is the most versatile and innovative artist the medium has known - arguably the greatest achievement of the form ever -- Dave Eggers New York Times Book Review

This new book seems to be another milestone in the demonstration of what comics can be -- Art Spiegelman, author of Maus

Chris Ware has produced a book as beautiful as any published this year, but also one which challenges us to think again about what literature is and where it is going -- Claire Armitstead Guardian

Perhaps best read in a single sitting, Jimmy Corrigan is perceptive, poetic, and sometimes profound, generously rewarding the absorption it requires -- The Independent



Near fine in like jacket. A clean, sharp and bright example. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition / printing of this graphic novel masterpiece. As new.
