This is my favorite graphic novel of all time. Beautifully grotesque artwork. A compelling story of gluttony, starvation, consumption, obsession, fantasy, insanity, and Tom Hanks. I think of Rob Sato as a modern Winsor McCay, pushing the illustrated story with an amazing talent for linework and contrast. This is a heavy book in both content and art. At only 8 bucks, you should definately buy it now or regret it for the rest of your life.
The only thing cooler than sliced bread is Burnt Sandwiches. -

Came across this lovely gem of graphic storytelling while visiting one of my favorite bookstores in Los Angeles. Bought it, read it while I was on the bus and was so engrossed in the book, I missed my stop. Went back to the store and bought a few more copies to share with friends. It's a wonderfully unique tale and a perfect marriage between written word and comic book illustration. It reads like a contemporary fable or myth. I also laughed out loud quite a lot, which - on a bus - makes one look like a crazy person.
I really hope to see more of Sato's comic book work in the future. I think he's swonderful. His other artwork is also worth looking into. Go Rob. Rob for President!
Cheerio.
