A new Kim Deitch work is always a cause for celebration, and this one is no exception.  Katherine Whaley is an all new 166 page, horizontally formatted graphic novel that takes readers to "sleepy Lumberton" a hundered or so years ago, at the dawn of the motion picture era, where the young protagonist gets swept away by the eccentric cast and crew of a film production company that comes through town, and her life is changed forever.  Deitch once again expertly employs his finely honed comics craft to leverage the strengths of comics in revealing Hollywood's transformative effects on American culture and society, and, perhaps most crucially, on the individual psyche, as well.  Get primed by checking out this 17 page PDF preview.
