Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Undaunted by lukewarm Internet and blogospheric opinion ("flat," "slow," and "always dreary") of his meretricious return last year to the tradition of the American comic book with the sixteenth issue of his ACME Novelty Library, cartoonist and professional sentimentalist Chris Ware returns with the seventeenth issue of this same title, and it is almost certain not to change general public opinion. [] Continuing with the second half of the introduction to his shamelessly meandering graphic novel 'Rusty Brown' (which began last issue at a private school in the 1970s Midwest), the six-sided crystal suggested by the exegesis of the first installment is slowly turned and examined in midmorning winter sunlight sometime between the bell of first period and the conclusion of lunch for the first through the fourth grades. Also included are more thorough examinations of many of the main characters' cloudy motivations, personal habits, and favorite restaurants, to say nothing of the small dust mote around which they have coalesced and the complications in its life due to the acquisition of superpowers sometime the night before. [] Like the irritating distant family member you only have to see once a year, THE ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY #17 will, as was its predecessor, be published by the author in a single, limited edition only, never to be reprinted until the entire library is collected as a single volume, though it may be promptly remaindered and/or discarded." [publisher copy] Ending with some pages of 'BRANFORD The Best Bee in the World.' "WARNING: THIS ISSUE IS NOT NEARLY AS INTERESTING AS THE LAST ONE WAS. IT IS A SECOND HALF of an already lengthy and interminable introduction to our recent ongoing 'graphic novel' RUSTY BROWN (which appeared in our recent number) and thus exudes none of the sparkle and garden-fresh feeling of something which is genuinely new, surprising, or interesting in its own right. In fact (should one require a metaphor) it is not unlike the waning hours of a disappointingly chaste first date, or the last weeks of a predictable and tiresome love affair, or the end of a conversation once its core topic has become tedious, unwelcome, and numbing. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS ISSUE IF YOU ARE NOT FULLY AWARE OF THESE RAMIFICATIONS." [back barcode sticker] Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, no jacket as issued. Despite Chris Ware's Warning, a Quite Presentable & Fully Aware production.
