O Brother, Ware Art!



The forthcoming issue of McSweeney's -- issue No. 13 -- was edited by the amazing Chris Ware, creator of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. Here's the McSweeney's store's write-up about it:

ISSUE 13: THE COMICS ISSUE

Issue 13 is a Very Special Issue. We might say that a lot, and we mean it every time, but this time we really really mean it. This issue is all comics. It is edited by Chris Ware (author of Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth), and features so many artists to know and love: R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman, Daniel Clowes, Lynda Barry, Los Bros Hernandez, Adrian Tomine, Julie Doucet, and on and on. The issue also includes essays from Michael Chabon, Ira Glass, John Updike, Chip Kidd, and others. Hardcover, clothbound, with an enormous dust jacket that does much more than guard against dust. This one makes our throats go tight.
