Indranil ModakIndranil Modak: The book contains vivid color palette and realistic, meticulous details; deals with social issues, depression and loneliness.

Daniel J. Mooney: This is Chris Ware’s book, culled from the pages of Acme Novelty Library. A series which ended ten years ago, and has now been collected into this volume. What is interesting is that the story itself is not over. The very last page ends with “Intermission”. Thus the book is meant to be part one of a however-many series. I have my doubts anymore is forthcoming. Acme Novelty Library came out only once a year -if that. So it took ten years to get this far, and another ten years to collect it. So we will probably have to deal with the material presented here as the final product.

Not that there’s anything wrong with the contents of Rusty Brown. If anything, the material is too good. The art is always crisp, precise, and meticulous. Perfect curves, immaculate edges. Nothing beats it. It sucks you in and forces the reader to admire each page for about half an hour. One minor detail is that the author often plays about with the size of the panels, and so a lot of the words are really tiny. Stick your eyeball a millimeter from the page tiny. That might have a negative impact on your enjoyment.

The story itself rambles. I’m pretty sure the author...

Anderson Lima Oliveira: Comecei a ler tem poucos dias e já me vejo totalmente preso, fascinado pela história, pelo traço e pela inovação que Chris Ware trouxe para os quadrinhos. Tudo bem, sabemos quais são suas influências. Richard McGuire provavelmente é a maior nesse quesito... Porém, Chris Ware foi além, ele supera e se supera. Em Rusty Brown é isso que acontece, uma história melancólica, cheia de personagens perdedores e/ou com problemas do passado ainda nada resolvidos... Enfim, uma obra-prima que apenas Chris Ware poderia ter realizado.

Raúl Q: Otro de los genios del cómic, el que más está haciendo para avanzar su lenguaje. Esta es una recopilación de historias de su Acme Library, muy buen material, apenas he leído un poco, como todo Chris Ware, es intimidante su tamaño y profundidad.

David Swan: I own several of Chris Ware’s Acme Novelty Library books, but it felt like I was getting into the middle of a soap opera and his older books had jumped in price so I didn’t stick with it. This is not the first compilation of ANL but it’s the first one I’ve purchased and I’m really glad I did. Although the book is titled Rusty Brown, his story only occupies something less than a third of the book. The book is basically divided in five sections with Rusty being the first. What’s interesting is that all of the characters have some tangential relationship to each other and sometimes it took me awhile to recognize that the character who is the focus of the current story is one I had already seen.

Before I get into the various section of the book, I want to talk about Chris Ware’s art because I find it fascinating. I took several years of graphic design in college and this is exactly what I would expect artwork to look like if it came from a graphic design major. Everything is precise and meticulous with perfectly straight edges and flawless curves. It’s so interesting how the meticulousness of the art contrasts with the very emotional and bleak...
