Chris Ware, R.Crumb: 22 BOOK LOT ACME NOVELTY LIBRARY & MORE 1993+ F-NM JVJ :
$156.05

This listing is a lot consisting of 22 books by Chris Ware. Included is a nearly complete run of his 20 issue ACME Novelty Library series featuring Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth. Missing are books 18, 18.5, and 19. On the flip side, I managed to pick up an extra copy of books 8 and 13, which I\'m including in this lot. Also included is the hardbound ACME Novelty Date Book Vo1. 1. and Gates of Heck Inc.\'s The Narrative Corpse which includes contributions by a slew of creators including Chris Ware, Robert Crumb, Art Spiegelman, and Joost Swarte. As near as I can tell, all books are first printings. (Chris Ware is notorious for using small sized fonts, so I often had to resort to using a magnifying glass to read copyright information). Part of the ACME Novelty series\' charm is that formats vary from book to book. Books in this lot range in size from 5¾\" x 7\" to 10¾\" x 18. Some are hardcover, others are softcover. Illustrations are in color and b/w.

All JVJ sales are guaranteed. If you are not satisfied for any reason, return for refund. If you\'re not happy, I\'m not happy. (|:{>

I\'ve been dabbling in selling bits and pieces of my collection for the last six months and now I\'m hoping to devote full time to the task. I\'ve been collecting for 50 years and sharing my knowledge in magazines like Promethean Enterprises back in the \'70s, The Who\'s Who of American Comic Books in the \'80s, catalogs like Bud Plant Illustrated Books in the \'80s and \'90s, and The Vadeboncoeur Collection of ImageS this Century. You\'ll find over 4000 full scans of my public domain pre-1960 comic books on-line at the Digital Comic Museum and Comic Book +. And you can read over 100 illustrator biographies I\'ve written at the \"Illustrators\" page on bpib.com. You won\'t see many comic books here. TheJVJ Collection of Atlas Romance and Timely teen & funny animal comics is being saleed every week on by my friend Dick Swan at his BigGuysComics shop every Wednesday starting at 7:00 pm PST. Just search his store for JVJ. I hope you\'ll check them out as well. I\'m happy to do combined shipping on LIKE ITEMS (i.e. Media Mail with Media Mail, Priority Mail with Priority Mail). Let me know when you win an item that you want to combine it with a future offer. When you\'re done, ask for a combined invoice and pay for ALL ITEMS at the end. Check out ALL of the JVJ Book sale listings on JVJPUBS for other great illustration items from my collection. New listings every day if I can manage. 50 YEARS worth of material to get through in two months, or die trying. We\'re getting down to the last month. I\'ll be listing until about May 30th.
