  <description><![CDATA[The penultimate teen issue of the ACME Novelty Library appears this autumn with a new chapter from the electrifying experimental narrative &quot;Rusty Brown,&quot; which examines the life, work and teaching techniques of one of its central real-life protagonists, W.

A previously marginal figure in the world of speculative fiction, Brown's widely-anthologized first story &quot;The Seeing Eye Dogs of Mars&quot; garnered him instant acclaim and the coveted White Dwarf Award for Best New Writer when it first appeared in the pages of Nebulous in the late 1950s, but his star was quickly eclipsed by the rise of such talents as Anton Jones, J.

New surprises and discoveries concerning the now-legendarily reclusive and increasingly influential writer mark this nineteenth number of the ACME Novelty Library, itself a regular award-winning periodical, lauded for its clear lettering and agreeable coloring, which, as any cultured reader knows, are cornerstones of any genuinely serious literary effort. Full color, seventy-eight pages, with hardbound covers, full indicia, and glue, the ACME Novelty Library offers its readers a satisfying, if not thrilling, rocket ride into the world of unkempt imagination and pulse-pounding excitement.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[The penultimate teen issue of the ACME Novelty Library appears this autumn with a new chapter from the electrifying experimental narrative &quot;Rusty Brown,&quot; which examines the life, work and teaching techniques of one of its central real-life protagonists, W. K. Brown. A previously marginal figure in the world of speculative fiction, Brown's widely-anthologized first story &quot;The Seeing Eye Dogs of Mars&quot; garnered him instant acclaim and the coveted White Dwarf Award for Best New Writer when it first appeared in the pages of Nebulous in the late 1950s, but his star was quickly eclipsed by the rise of such talents as Anton Jones, J. Sterling Imbroglio and others of the so-called &quot;psychovisionary&quot; movement. (Modern scholarship concedes, however, that they now owe a not inconsequential aesthetic debt to Brown.) New surprises and discoveries concerning the now-legendarily reclusive and increasingly influential writer mark this nineteenth number of the ACME Novelty Library, itself a regular award-winning periodical, lauded for its clear lettering and agreeable coloring, which, as any cultured reader knows, are cornerstones of any genuinely serious literary effort. Full color, seventy-eight pages, with hardbound covers, full indicia, and glue, the ACME Novelty Library offers its readers a satisfying, if not thrilling, rocket ride into the world of unkempt imagination and pulse-pounding excitement.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Chris Ware is my favorite comic artist/author. It might be because he writes so often and so well about Chicago, my life-long home, but apart from this i love his grim narratives that emphasize the rare hopeful ray of light by the horror of the surrounding story. It probably goes without saying that...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42242426">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This issue is perhaps the very best of a group of extraordinary stories so far. Ware shows he is still growing in his mastery of storytelling and the art of comics, and he shows a stunningly musical sense of the form. The temptation to tell you why, to use a spoiler, is great, but... just read it. ]]></body>

A previously marginal figure in the world of speculative fiction, Brown's widely-anthologized first story &quot;The Seeing Eye Dogs of Mars&quot; garnered him instant acclaim and the coveted White Dwarf Award for Best New Writer when it first appeared in the pages of Nebulous in the late 1950s, but his star was quickly eclipsed by the rise of such talents as Anton Jones, J. Sterling Imbroglio and others of the so-called &quot;psychovisionary&quot; movement. (Modern scholarship concedes, however, that they now owe a not inconsequential aesthetic debt to Brown.) New surprises and discoveries concerning the now-legendarily reclusive and increasingly influential writer mark this nineteenth number of the ACME Novelty Library, itself a regular award-winning periodical, lauded for its clear lettering and agreeable coloring, which, as any cultured reader knows, are cornerstones of any genuinely serious literary effort. Full color, seventy-eight pages, with hardbound covers, full indicia, and glue, the ACME Novelty Library offers its readers a satisfying, if not thrilling, rocket ride into the world of unkempt imagination and pulse-pounding excitement.]]>

    <![CDATA[The penultimate teen issue of the ACME Novelty Library appears this autumn with a new chapter from the electrifying experimental narrative &quot;Rusty Brown,&quot; which examines the life, work and teaching techniques of one of its central real-life protagonists, W. K. Brown. A previously marginal figure in the world of speculative fiction, Brown's widely-anthologized first story &quot;The Seeing Eye Dogs of Mars&quot; garnered him instant acclaim and the coveted White Dwarf Award for Best New Writer when it first appeared in the pages of Nebulous in the late 1950s, but his star was quickly eclipsed by the rise of such talents as Anton Jones, J. Sterling Imbroglio and others of the so-called &quot;psychovisionary&quot; movement. (Modern scholarship concedes, however, that they now owe a not inconsequential aesthetic debt to Brown.) New surprises and discoveries concerning the now-legendarily reclusive and increasingly influential writer mark this nineteenth number of the ACME Novelty Library, itself a regular award-winning periodical, lauded for its clear lettering and agreeable coloring, which, as any cultured reader knows, are cornerstones of any genuinely serious literary effort. Full color, seventy-eight pages, with hardbound covers, full indicia, and glue, the ACME Novelty Library offers its readers a satisfying, if not thrilling, rocket ride into the world of unkempt imagination and pulse-pounding excitement.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[More from the life of Rusty Brown -- this new Ware edition is just gorgeous. His design is always top notch but this volume in particular is really spectacular.
