The detail he puts into his art is amazing - sometimes teeny-tiny little "comics" in the spines of his books. I actually recently bought this copy of Candide (http://www.amazon.com/Candide-Optimism-Penguin-Classics-Deluxe/dp/0143039423) just for it's cover art. It not only looks nice, but makes me look smart as well. ;) I’ve loved Chris Ware ever since I took a Narrative course in school and we read Jimmy Corrigan.

The cover of Granta? Beautiful. http://www.granta.com/Magazine/108 I also thought his Halloween New Yorker cover was very clever, and was overjoyed that the issue arrived safetly to my new apartment.

I LOVE Chris Ware. Every time I see anything with his work, I have this weird impulse to purchase it immediately. EXAMPLES: McSweeney's Issue 13 (Edited by Chris Ware, with an amazing fold-out cover), the "Writers on Writers" Issue of the Virginia Quarterly Review where Chris Ware did this crazy cover relating to authors where each little strip has titles such as: "Shakespeare on Homer" and "Tolstoy on Shakespeare" and "Proust on Flaubert" etc. I think he also does a series for VQR called "Jordan Lint", but don't quote me on that. Finally, I DID NOT KNOW HE HAND DREW ALL OF THAT. What medium does he use??? How large are the originals??? Great post! I LOVE Chris Ware.

The only reason I haven't read a lot of his comics is because it takes me so very long to get through it - I want to read every little thing! Hell, the *wrapping* for the last Jimmy Corrigan book took me an hour. Thanks so much for sharing Ware with everyone. The sheer amount of detail that goes into Ware’s work just blows me away.
