Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth

has rightly been hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever to be published. It won the
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,
is a book unlike any other and certainly not to be missed.
