Book shelves series #18, eighteenth Sunday of 2012.
Lots of issues of McSweeney’s on this shelf. I abandoned The Instructions. Some Tintin omnibuses. Crumb-illustrated Kafka bio. Bookended by Will Eisner’s masterwork A Contract with God:
A Chris Ware comic from McSweeney’s #13:

Hey, Joey—I put my link to my review of it above in the post (it’s linked to the title). I was probably a bit harsh on it in retrospect. For whatever reason, I held on to it instead of trading it.
The Little Nun was brilliant. It seems only right that you give proper credit to the artist, Mark Newgarden, whose body of work is nothing short of genius.
