A really beautiful book, both in terms of Ware's beautiful drawings and in terms of the actual book itself - the front cover is an etched representation of images familiar from any American childhood in the late twentieth century. The book almost has the physical feel of a school library volume from that era, and the story lives up to that unusual starting point. As always, Ware is a master at weaving a tale that is simultaneously melancholy, beautiful, and astonishingly honest. It's hard to say enough good things about The ACME Novelty Library #17 - if graphic novels are one of the most rewarding segments of the art world in the early twenty-first century, then Chris Ware deserves a lot of the credit for that fact, and this volume amply demonstrates why. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Is opgenomen inRusty Brown door Chris Ware
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 hisACME 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 novelRusty 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 aroundwhich 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, theACME 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.

The look and style of the story is trademark Ware: Incredible layout and design are emphasized by minimal drawings and a barren narrative. This time, Ware inserts himself in the story as a lovably depraved high school art teacher.
The Rusty Brown storyline has already seen some interesting experiments. We have a lunch box illustrated with a detailed Rusty Brown story that is unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. And everything Ware puts out feels like an art object. This issue of Acme Novelty Library is no different. It is worth reading now, but it will certainly be available as a Rusty Brown novel at some future date. ( )
