Chris Ware

A graphic novel chronicles four generations of the Corrigan men, from 1893 to 1983.

The Smartest Kid on Earth

Jimmy Corrigan

Excellent use of the graphic novel format and a distinct sense of style. The simplicity of its Sunday Funnies look is contrasted with a density of panels and details. A fitting reflection of Corrigan himself, a seemingly simple man who is subdued by his frenzied subconscience.

I felt like I ought to give this four stars because people whose opinions I respect really like Ware. It was neat to see how much info he could convey in simple pictures, but the story itself was a little sluggish for me at times. I admire the work but don't love it. I'd give it 3.5 stars if that were an option.
