It's been a minute since the last issue of Acme Novelty Library – fifteen years exactly, in case you were wondering – but Chris Ware is back with another, all new issue.  This time around it's a boxed set of three (full color) comics – "The Last Saturday No. 6,": "Alice White" and the first part of a longer, as yet untitled work that centers on the Covid Pandemic –  each with their own sert of dimensions, proportions and resultant aspect ratios (we'll need to conslut with Frank Santoro as to whether or not each of Chris's choices in this department were appropriate to each of the comics' respective narrative material).  The box itself opens along horizontal axis, like a book cover, revealing the three coimcs nested inside.  Then, of course, the box itself – which measures 15 1/4" x 11 3/8" x 7/8" – is heavily illustrated inside and out, including a brutal parady of the old toy soldiers ads that were ubiquitous on the back covers of comic books circe 1965 - 1975  that has been adapted to our own era in a highly satiric manner, and there is also a heartfelt tribute to his mother – who passed away earlier this year –  on the inside of the box lid, and then – surpise! – the inner box side supports serve double duty as a cut and assemble paper model,  this time it's a model of the "ACME Centralized HQ and LLC Shell Operations Virtual Mailing Address and Helipad," in case you were wondering.

Chris Ware, ladies and gentlemen!
