![]() ![]() This newly created world is all too believable and reminded me of the Michael Chabon’s ‘The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay’. Some of the finest moments of the book are about the imaginary early comic books that he collected, and their authors. The comic takes the form of a number of interviews with people (comic store owners and other collectors) who knew him, discussions on his completely contrived comic collection and a number of moments with Wimbledon himself. ![]() He mysteriously comes onto the comic collector scene, before he just as mysteriously disappears again. Wimbledon Green is the story of the comic book collector of the same name. He featured in Chester Brown’s autobiographical piece ‘ Paying for it‘, as he is a friend of the Chester. Seth is the pen name for Gregory Gallant, who was born in Ontario, Canada, in 1962. According to the introduction to the piece by the author Seth himself, it didn’t start life as a graphic novel at all, but rather as a bunch of loosely linked sketchbooks, that he later decided to build into a continuous story. Wimbledon Green is one of the most unusual comics I’ve read in many years, and this is largely down to the way it was created. ![]()
