作者克里斯•韦尔是《纽约客》杂志的御用封面画家，《纽约客》的多期经典封面出自其手。 从最初连载到最终成书，英文原版《吉米•科瑞根》跨越了七年。在整个出版流程中，作者克里斯•韦尔事必躬亲，自脚本至绘制、自设计至印刷，均由其一手操刀。 本书每幅精准细致的画面，均未使用电脑矢量软件作为辅助工具，而是全部徒手完成。准确的线条，规矩的分格，乃至每个精细的字符，都是采用先打线格再手绘的手工模式，工程浩大繁复，极度耗费时间心力，但其极致效果亦无人企及。

十餘年來，幾米的畫作，以「圖文書」的方式說出了長篇的故事和短篇的情節，引起無數讀者的共鳴。 然而，假如單獨觀看幾米的畫作，觀者將會發現，這些畫作事實上是可以獨立存在的作品，然而它們又頗不同於純藝術性的繪畫創作。 許多純藝術創作者的畫，往往為了抒發個人的情緒而展現出孤高的氛圍，或者是為了提出某種藝術理念而進行某些嘗試。幾米的畫作不然。他的畫作與大眾之間有一種較為親近的距離，更容易引起觀賞者的理解與共鳴。 本畫冊所收錄的五十幅畫作，每一幅都是一個獨特的空間，也是一個極可能含藏著故事的瞬間，值得書迷細細欣賞。 ◎全書以硬殼精裝，五十幅精選畫作，大開本（30x40公分）精印，可裁切珍藏。資深幾米書迷決不可錯過。
