Early work by Chester Brown, as surreal and well crafted as you'd expect. Very good #comics #bookwyrm

I was disappointed with Chester Brown's biography of Louis Riel. But I didn't want that to be my last memory of him, so I dug up this collection of his early stories and gave them a read. They're a wild ride - wacky, well-paced, and masterfully drawn, at least the later ones are. Even the earlier stories are worth reading to see how he progressed. A book that starts with a story about a Toilet Paper Revolt? You know it's got to be good. It may not be his definitive work, but it's still pretty good.
