Picks of the Week: 4/30
Patrick and I pick out the books with the most potential, shipping to comic shops tomorrow!
Patrick's Pick
Thoreau at Walden - I can’t imagine this isn’t going to be excellent. John Porcellino offers his take on the life of Henry David Thoreau, in the second in a series of comics format biographies sponsored by the Center for Cartoon Studies. Porcellino is unquestionably one of our finest living cartoonists, and this project seems tailor made to his sensibilities. I can’t wait to read it.
