We finally got in a few copies of this.

Spit and a Half sez:

From Noah’s Envious Editions comes this lovely collection of classic 1920’s newspaper “gag” strips. The Timid Soul was Webster’s look at the life and follies of Caspar Milquetoast (from whence the term was coined), a man who sees difficulty, humiliation, and social awkwardness around every corner. These are affectionate, kind-hearted cartoons that reveal Caspar’s (and our) insecurities, petty worries, and day-to-day striving. Lovely. 40 pages, 8.5″ x 5.5″, full color covers, black and white interiors. Scanned from the collection of Bruce Simon. (Envious Editions)

We're going to try to get this one back in stock.  Please check back...

Yes – it's an all-new Noah Van Sciver (autobio) comic book series! 

We join Noah in medias res at the Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood, Colorado where he divides his time between taking art classes, dreaming of life as a famous artist, and working at a bagel shop "next to Barnes & Noble," when he receives a phone call from his brother Ethan...

What might from another artist have been simply another portrait of the artist as a young man, becomes here, in the capable artistic hands of Noah Van Sciver, gradually expanded to encompass a tale of the end of innocence and the extirpation of naivete – one that is also, at moments, laugh-out-loud funny.  Concludes with a full-page pin-up of Galactus! ("after Kirby", natch')

28 digest-size black & white pages, with color cover.

Temporarily (we hope!) out of stock.  Please check back in the new year...
