Meet the original antihero Joe Matt: a master of a domain that includes over twenty-three self-edited eight-hour-long videotapes of bootlegged pornography; a penny-pincher who never fails to make a dime off his friends; a chronic masturbator who doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t understand why he never has a girlfriend; an obsessive collector frantically searching for the toys of his childhood; a callous son who throws out every gift his adoring mother gives him; a man so lazy that he urinates in a bottle rather than walk to the bathroom. SPENT is Joe Matt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first new trade hardcover in years, and it collects in a re-edited and re-colored form his best storyline from the past 4 issues of Peepshow.

In his first graphic novel Seth pays homage to the wit and sophistication of New Yorker cartoons. While trying to understand his dissatisfaction with the present, Seth discovers the life and work of Kalo, a forgotten gag cartoonist from the 1940s. But his obsession blinds him to the needs of his lover and the quiet desperation of his family. Wry self-reflection and moody colours characterize Seth\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s style in this tale about learning lessons from nostalgia. His playful and sophisticated experiment with memoir provoked a furious debate among cartoon historians and archivists about the existence of Kalo, and prompted a Details feature about Seth’s “hoax.”<\/p>\n ****************** Synopsis: ******************<\/p>\n As always, you can click on images to view a larger version.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n – Christopher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The following books appear in the\u00c2\u00a0April 2007 PREVIEWS catalogue, and will begin shipping in in\u00c2\u00a0June 2007 to better comic book stores everywhere.\u00c2\u00a0 Spent By Joe Matt Hardcover book, 6.5 x 9.25 inches, 132 two-color pages. $19.95 978-1-897299-11-1\u00c2\u00a0 Meet the original antihero Joe Matt: a master of a domain that includes over twenty-three self-edited eight-hour-long videotapes … <\/p>\n

\nIn Fair Weather Joe examines his 1970s suburban childhood. Young Joe Matt is a selfish child who steals from stores, takes advantage of his friends, threatens to burn his mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house down, teases those weaker than himself, and reveals himself to be a fairly normal child. Completely unsentimental and strangely kind of endearing, Fair Weather continues the American tradition of hilarious self-exhibitionism.

\nOne of the classics of modern graphic novels, back in a new printing. Chester Brown tells the story of his alienated youth in an almost detached, understated manner, giving the book an eerie, dream-like quality. For the new definitive softcover edition Brown has designed new layouts for the entire book, using “white” panel backgrounds instead of the black pages of the first edition.<\/p>\n
