Chris Ware Comics: "Drawing is a Way of Thinking" combines contributions from established and emerging comic book scholars by Chicago cartoonist Chris Ware (born 1967). Both inside and outside academia, Ware's work quickly stands out as essential to the evolving canon of the graphic novel. Winner of the 2001 Guardian First Book for genre-forming Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth, Ware has won numerous awards from both literary and comic institution. This collection looks at Ware's range of work from his earliest drawings in the 1990s at the ACME Novelty Library and his famous Jimmy Corrigan, to his last unfinished works: "Story Stories" and "Rusty Brown."
