Palookaville
Drawn and Quarterly. All written and drawn by Seth.
It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken (4-9). [From Drawn & Quarterly: This new edition presents Seth's first book in its definitive form,
collecting the extensive, beautifully illustrated storyline from his
popular comic book series Palookaville. Here, he vividly recounts his serach for meaning in the life and work of Kalo, a forgotten gag cartoonist of the 1940's and '50s. This compulsive task takes him through stacks of crumbling books and magazines in the hope of finding, and ultimately holding onto, a piece of the past. With this remarkable novella, Seth has demonstrated the power of comics as a narrative form. The story unfolds slowly, opening windows onto haunting scenes of old factories, remote towns, and distant train routes; taking us back, on a voyage across both distance and time.] 
Clyde Fans 1 (10-15). [From Drawn & Quarterly: Just along King Street at number 150 you will find the old store-front of the Clyde Fans Company. It's been locked up for years now and most people would naturally assume that it is completely abandoned. Look closer. Peer in through the display window into the dimly lit office and there on the far wall you will just be able to make out the black and white photographs of a pair of rather grim looking businessmen: Abraham and Simon Matchcard. If you were to go in further - back through that battered safety door and into the living and work spaces of the old building you would pass into the hidden world that has sustained these lonely brothers for more than five decades. In this, the first of two books, you will meet the Matchcard brothers and follow them through their journeys of disappointment, loss and isolation. Two salesmen who have failed to "close."] 
Wimbledon Green: The Greatest Comic Book Collector in the World (OGN). [From Drawn & Quarterly: Taking a break from the serialization of his saga Clyde Fans and the design of The Complete Peanuts, critically acclaimed cartoonist and illustrator Seth creates a farcical world of the people whose passion lies in the need to own comic books and only in pristine, mint condition. Meet Wimbledon Green, the self-proclaimed world’s greatest comic book collector who brokered the world’s best comic book deal in the history of collecting. Comic book retailers, auctioneers, and conventioneers from around North America, as well as Green’s collecting rivals, weigh in on the man and his vast collection of comic books. Are Green’s intentions honorable? Does he truly love comics or is he driven by the need to conquer? Lastly, is he really even Wimbledon Green? A charming and amusing caper where comic book collecting is a world of intrigue and high finance. Part riotous chase, part whimsical character sketch, Wimbledon Green looks at the need to collect and the need to reinvent oneself.]
