Jon Lewis's Spectacles
Spectacles
#1
This new ongoing series from True Swamp
and Ghost Ship creator Jon Lewis
is his most exciting work to date! Having explored, to critical and fan
acclaim, the hidden world of an imaginary swamp and the dreamlike life
of a fantastical shipful of pirates, Lewis now turns to the hilarious,
touching and vibrant milieu of the modern American city and its denizens.
Comic fans weary of narcissistic autobiography and schmaltzy soap-operas
masquerading as realism will try on Jon Lewis' Spectacles with
delight — here is contemporary comics at its freshest and finest.
Jason Lutes of Jar of Fools says the result is "an inspired
new take on storytelling itself, transforming leaden conventions into
gold." Jeff Smith of Bone says Spectacles reveals
Lewis' "Kurtzman or Thurber-like knack for deciding what the story is
— which slice of the pie to serve," and Tom Palmer Jr. of Wizard
says " Spectacles proves that Lewis is bright-eyes and bushy-tailed
while the rest of us are still asleep."
