A crazy hero is quite possible. <BR/><BR/>I really want to read this one. Unfortunately our local library had other Chester Brown books, but not this one. Likewise they had the sequels to Persepolis and Maus, but not the originals.

I felt like the author didn't really know which side he was trying to be on. I still wish they would make this a series, though.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.com
