Fantagraphics, 1995. First Edition. Trade Paperback. Near Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" [32]pp., with semi-glossy color covers and interior. Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library is an astounding publication, presenting comics that engage the intellect, and managing from the first issue to do so in an accessible manner, thus succeeding where Raw failed. It's also arguably the first comic to move the medium forward since the undergrounds of the 1960s, yet keeps a clear eye on the past. Ware employs a regular cast including an archaic representation of a robot, an aged super-hero archetype (sometimes presented as God), a hapless rural character dominated by his father, and Jimmy Corrigan, the smartest kid on Earth.
