Yale University Press just published a monograph of amazing cartoonist Chris Ware, author of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. The new book was written by Daniel Raeburn, publisher of the comix crit zine The Imp.
"Daniel Raeburn looks closely at Ware's career, work methods, and graphic innovations, which include pullout, flip-up, and three-dimensional insertions, along with cut-out-and-assemble-paper projects that require construction by readers. Based on many hours of interviews with the artist, Raeburn offers fascinating insights into the connections between Jimmy Corrigan's biography and that of his creator. In addition, the book encompasses Ware's many other works and examines his place in the world of literature, graphic art, and popular culture."
