His first new release in quite awhile, Chicago Stories is a nifty little 48 page tome composed of eleven short stories culled from the pages of later issues of Cometbus with Chicago as their focal point. This one represents a bit of a format departure for Mr. Cometbus, as the contents are (gasp!) typeset and printed on a nice heavy stock, plus there's a color wraparound cover by Megan Kelso and illustrated chapter headings by Frank Sirk.
