Get ready for the most extensive journey ever into the brilliant mind of Graham Annable! A classically trained animator with credits in film (including as a storyboard artist on Coraline), television, and video games, Annable has for years spent his free time creating some of the funniest, most poignant comics anywhere. As befits his animation background, Annable's fluid art pulses with life, in stories that practically jump off the page. Alternately poetic and hilarious, Grickle presents a strange twist on the everyday with heart and humor. If you've experienced Grickle before, this is the greatest collection yet. If you haven't, there's no better introduction than Book of Grickle! o Grickle was named one of Wizard's Top 25 indie books everyone must read! The best of Grickle, plus new and rarely seen material! o Graham Annables's Grickle strips were selected for Houghton-Mifflin's 2008 edition of Best American Comics.
