"The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing
Is a Way of Thinking brings together
contributions from established and
emerging scholars about the comics
of Chicago-based cartoonist Chris
Ware (b. 1967). Both inside and
outside academic circles, Ware's work is rapidly being distinguished as
essential to the developing canon of the graphic novel. Winner of the
2001 Guardian First Book Prize for the genre-defining Jimmy Corrigan:
The Smartest Kid on Earth, Ware has received numerous accolades from
both the literary and comics establishment. This collection addresses
the range of Ware's work from his earliest drawings in the 1990s in
The ACME Novelty Library and his acclaimed Jimmy Corrigan, to his most
recent works-in-progress, "Building Stories" and "Rusty Brown."
