Storeyville GN

Introduction by Chris Ware! A perfect match of form and content, Storeyville was originally published in 1995 as a 40 page tabloid newspaper printed muted tones ranging from sandy yellow to a deep sepia. It follows the arc of a youthful adventure at the dawn of the 20th century. Will, a young man stuck in the industrial Pittsburgh of way-back-when is rarin' to go, though he's not sure where to, until he learns that his former mentor/partner/best-friend, the Reverend Rudy, has been sighted in Montreal, and then he's off! Will's adventure leads across exotic land and to an epiphany about life itself. All of this is told with humor, pathos and a gentle graphic flair for cityscapes, landscapes and seascapes.
