    Beautiful, sad and tragic
  

*by A**** on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2020*

I just finished reading this and I’m shocked I’ve never come across Chris Ware before!His art is is visually stunning.It has a real UPA feel to it (Cartoon studio)The art has the power to make me sit and look carefully each panel carefully and really take in the beautiful picturesque design.I don’t want to destroy what this plot is about but it’s a real knock on effect of sadness, loneliness and lots of despair.It really did speak mammoth volumes to myself and the relationship I have with my own father (We get one brilliantly now if you’re wondering, but me being ASD I had a complicated childhood, like Jimmy!)It just is one sad and beautiful tale from start to finish.I read that this is meant to be semi-autobiographical from Chris Ware which I appreciate greatly though he claims parts aren’t.Regardless, don’t you love how a simple comic panel story can touch someone’s raw nerves so greatly?The book itself is a stunning piece, a hardback, small-ish. If you have read the complete Peanuts by Schulz, think of a book like that size.The text is a wee bit small, but it does add to the feel of the story and plays well with the art.The dust jacket also unfolds although I haven’t unfolded incase I can’t put it back together again!The pages have a nice thickness to them, the paper is nice too, doesn’t feel cheap.On the strength of this comic I purchased Rusty Brown too which I’m waiting to arrive.It’s a real good comic that I personally think speaks to people of all backgrounds.It’s a recommended read!

    Painful and moving stuff
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2015*

Jimmy Corrigan is a story of the modern day Jimmy and the parallel story of the adventures of his grandfather in the late 19th century.  The story was originally published over 5 years in news print and has been collected complete in this volume.I'd heard lots about it but resisted until a recent article in SFX magazine rated it in one of the best new GN's of the last 20 years.Having read it I have to agree.  The art is simplistic and yet manages to work perfectly, conveying the emotion, struggles and painful insecurity of the lead character perfectly.The story itself is semi autobiographical tale from the author Chris Ware.  I could strongly relate to it and found it a powerful and painful tale, much of it dealing with detachment and isolation stemming from parental rejection and mistreatment.It's not an easy read for those with difficult upbringings but it's powerful stuff and quite brilliant.  Definitely one of the modern comic greats.

    A masterpiece by Chris Ware
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2016*

A masterpiece by Chris Ware. One of the greatest ever graphic novels - a study of loneliness, isolation, emotional dislocation in a brilliant though simple-looking graphic style. This never rubs our face in it but allows much feeling for the central character, the flawed individual that he himself nevertheless is.Jimmy Corrigan is a masterpiece that is found at the top of greatest ever graphic novels lists alternative in top place with Maus, Watchmen, Batman - The Dark Knight Returns, The Sandman series, Ghost World and the Bone series. The writing and presentation is that good.
