This first book from Chicago author Chris Ware is a pleasantly-decorated view at a lonely and emotionally-impaired "everyman" (Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth), who is provided, at age 36, the opportunity to meet his father for the first time. An improvisatory romance which gingerly deports itself between 1890's Chicago and 1980's small town Michigan, the reader is he...(展开全部)

Ware's hero is a doughy, middle-aged loser who retreats into fantasies that he is "The Smartest Kid on Earth." The minimal plot involves Jimmy's tragicomic reunion with the father who abandoned him in childhood. In abruptly juxtaposed flashbacks, Ware depicts previous generations of Corrigan males, revealing how their similar histories of rejection and abandonment culminated in...(展开全部)

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。
