His novel not only won the \u003ci\u003eManchester Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e First Novel prize in 2001 but it has sold over 100,000 copies. This book is as much a companion volume to Jimmy Corrigan --one of the great crossover success stories-- as a tremendous art collection from of one of America's most interesting and popular graphic artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChris Ware has a passion for drawing that is surprisingly wide-ranging in style and subject. This book surprises the reader on every page with its sense of spontaneous vision. Architectural drawings from Chicago and interplanetary robot comics collide with cruelly doodled human figures and quietly troubling studies of the still life. A must for people with a passion for modern design and old-fashioned style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Ware\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and artist and has contributed graphic fiction and thirty-two covers to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e since 1999.
