Voot O'Reenie!  Break out the Slim Gaillard and get comfortable!  This gigantic album of the one and only Marc Bell, Canada's answer to long lonely winters, is coming over and you'll want to be prepared.  Comics, illustration, mixed media and Bell's own idiosyncratic combinations of these that together embody one of the most singular ouevres in the art comics biz are all amply on display in the over 270, 9" x 12" pages.  Color and black and white works are reproduced accordingly and with care in this multiple-paper-stock-employing oversize hardcover volume that is an ideal tonic for chasing away those winter blues, and has been released just in time to do the job.
