    With Seth:  A Picture is Worth 2000 Words!!
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2009*

Some people say a picture says a thousand words.  Fair enough, however with Seth you would have to double that.  In the print media we have seen many classics especially in the standard printed novel media.  Many literature classics as the big fat novels written by Charles Dickens seem to take forever to develop a plot and to reach a viable and entertaining conclusion.  Other writers such as Hemingway are able to make short work with their prose and are to be commended. In Seth's graphic depiction of Clyde Fans Book One, we see the very best of all print media.  Seth divides his work into two sections.  The first book introduces the reader to Clyde Fans Company in 1997 through the narration of Abraham Matchcard and Seth's haunting graphic depiction of the old Company offices, apartment and city scenes.  In utilizing old man Abraham ,Seth does remind me of what Thorton Wilder utilized in the use of the Stage Manager in his three act play "Our Town".  Seth's prose and graphic scenes of Book One sets the scene for the subsequent Book Two set 40 years before in 1957 with the actions of his brother Simon . With Seth many of his scenes don't even need words, the graphic depictions hauntingly tell the story.  This brings up another media comparison with Seth.  His graphics are the best of all in the graphic novel genre.  His background scenes of 1957 make you think you were living in that era.  In fact his graphic illustrations can be compared to Edward Hopper.  It's not that his art is like Hopper's but he brings the sense of isolation, loneliness and deep thought in all his illustrations.  This sense of graphic illustration involves deep thought which emanates from the talented pen of Seth. I am looking forward to Book 2 of Clyde Fans.  Seth sets the standard of all graphic novelists/artists.  10 Stars!!  No Problem!!!

    A must-own for graphic novel collectors...
  

*by C***Z on Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2014*

I am a huge Seth fan. This book is beautiful with beautiful artwork. I savored every panel of artwork. The artwork is so beautiful that I found myself lingering on many panels just to enjoy the view, unique perspective or mood.

    Gorgeous story and art in a well-produced volume
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2014*

A gorgeous graphic novel by Seth [http://www.drawnandquarterly.com/artStudio.php?artist=a3dff7dd55a576], this first volume of a two volume collection follows a man as he reflects on his career and his family as the booming industrial and civic entrepreneurship era expands in Palookaville (his beautiful and original shining city).  It is beautifully illustrated and produced as a gorgeous volume that sucks the observer into the world that Seth has created on and off the page.  After listening to an interview with him on The Virtual Memories Show (http://chimeraobscura.com/vm/podcast-archive), I was fascinated by looking him up as I have seen his work in The New Yorker and other media, yet have not entirely investigated his published texts.What is most admirable about the work is his ability to draw his audience into the story, and the fully realized cardboard city in his basement is entirely believable to his audience because it is three-dimensional in real life.  Gorgeous illustrations and a captivating story bring the audience into the mood of the piece by simply inviting us into the anxieties and melancholy of the characters on the page.  His artwork is captivating and simple, and it is a pleasure to be invited into experiencing the life of his fan-toting protagonist.  We feel his anxieties, and understand the striking apocalypse of industry as globalization and the post-industrial era creeps into the life of our characters.  A gorgeous and beautiful book, right down to the scent of the ink wafting from the page as you read.
