"[Chris] Ware is the most versatile and innovative artist the medium has ever known," says Dave Eggers. We suspect that Ware won't be picking up cudgels to defend this title. For one thing, he's too busy creating brilliantly funny and insightfully quirky alternative comic books. In this 15th addition to his Acme Novelty Library, Ware flips out stories of favorites like "Jimmy Corrigan," "Rocket Sam," and, of course, "Quimby the Mouse." Well-twisted Ware fans will enjoy the pull-out bonuses, especially the cut-out three-dimensional motion picture viewer.
