The most ambitious, beautiful, moving 'comic book' ever produced- an astonishing tour de force that won the Guardian First Book Award 2001 and The American Book Award 2001.

Jimmy Corrigan has rightly been hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever to be published. It won the Guardian First Book Award 2001, the first graphic novel to win a major British literary prize.

It is the tragic autobiography of an office dogsbody in Chicago who one day meets the father who abandoned him as a child. With a subtle, complex and moving story and the drawings that are as simple and original as they are strikingly beautiful, Jimmy Corrigan is a book unlike any other and certainly not to be missed.

**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

This new book seems to be another milestone in the demonstration of what comics can be -- Art Spiegelman, author of Maus
