Description
|
|
|
|
Resembling a large portfolio, this Chris Ware omnibus collects many of his shorter pieces and one-page cartoon jokes from his periodical comic series The ACME Novelty Library. Here are stories of the future, the old west, and even of modern life, including the misadventures of collector Rusty Brown and his clueless pal Chalky White, all told in Ware's wry wit and gorgeously precise drawings. You also get a luminescent map of the heavens, a chart of the general structure of the universe, assorted cutout activities, satirical advertisements, and a complete history of the ACME Novelty Company itself.
