Seattle: Fantagraphics, 2001. First Edition. Oversized paperback. Near fine/none as issued. Chris Ware. Near fine with mild bump to bottom right corner. Folio. Contents: Joke Book II, Rocket Sam, Tales From The Future, Quimby the Mouse, Rusty Brown. "Acme Novelty Library is a comic book series created by Chicago cartoonist Chris Ware. Its first issue appeared in 1993. Published from 1994 by Fantagraphics Books and later self-published, it is considered a significant work in alternative comics, selling over 20,000 copies per issue. Issues are imbued with the defining characteristics of Ware's work; a pervasive sadness and nihilism permeate tales of disappointment, thwarted affection, and the dehumanization of the individual in a modern and mechanized world.Through the use of apparently extraneous novelties, such as cut-outs and flip-books, and prose parodies set in tiny fonts, Ware blurs the boundaries between author/reader/character. These interventions offer complex and simultaneous multilinear readings of the page that serve to thematise Ware's engagement with issues of narrative and continuity" - wikipedia
