1001 COMICS MINI-SITE

Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

American Elf

by James Kochalka

Original publisher: Top Shelf Productions (USA)
First published: 2002
Reviewed by: Marc Weidenbaum
Genre: Anthropomorphic, Autobiographical

Synopsis:

James Kochalka’s diaries have utterly redefined the daily comic strip. His attempt to document the minutia of his life results in work that explores the full spectrum of human emotions. Drawn with verve and confidence by a cartoonist at the height of his powers, it is ambitious, hilarious, moving, and quite addictive.

Recommendations:

James Kochalka is my autobiographical idol. - Alison Bechdel (Dykes To Watch Out For, Fun Home)
