Double Eisner nominee (for his acclaimed Recidivist #3, which SPIN Magazine called one of its "favorite things") and all-around hot cartoonist Zak Sally leaps into Ignatz fray with the first issue of the ongoing Sammy the Mouse series. Rollick with Sammy's pals Puppy Boy, H. G. Feekes and Him as they walk around, have epileptic seizures, talk to disembodied voices, drink liquor in a bar the shape of a giant baby, and scare the living hell out of each other. The artwork on Sammy the Mouse is created using a sophisticated two-color process Sally already showed off to fine effect in a recent Mome, making it one of the most visually arresting of the Ignatzes. Part of the "Ignatz" series, a collection of internationally-produced comics designed midway between comic books and graphic novels, produced in an oversized two-color format of jacketed saddle-stitched comics on thick, deluxe stock, and offered at very reasonable prices.
