From former Arthur comics editor Tom Devlin, of the highly esteemed Drawn & Quarterly :
Okay, so I’ve mentioned it a few times already because I’ve been working on this book for what seems like FOREVER except now it’s almost done and I’m trying my best to create an other-publishers-should-be-jealous-and-comics-buyers-need-to-start-saving-their-disposable-income series of posts this week–Marc Bell has a 272-page monograph of his fine art and fine aht and foin ART and even some comics coming out soon. Is Marc Canada’s finest young artist working today? Of course, he is! Eat your heart out, Marcel Dzama.

OMG OMG OMG OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I have been drooooooling for more Marc Bell since his last comic, Worn Tuff Elbow, was published a few years back by the fine folks at Fantagraphics. There was also a mini-book, Stacks, released in the interim, but it only fed my frenzy for more Bell.
If you’ve not, I strongly urge you to track down Bell’s Worn Tuff Elbow and teh Shrimpy and Paul collection. Hands down some of the best “cartoonz” (and i mean that complimentarily) published in the last decade.
I’m not certain either are in print currently, but they are sooooooooo very much worth it if you find them.
