Jimmy Corrigan has rightly been hailed as the greatest graphic novel ever to be published. It won the Guardian First Book Award 2001, the first graphic novel to win a major British literary prize. It is the tragic autobiography of an office dogsbody in Chicago who one day meets the father who abandoned him as a child. With a subtle, complex and moving story and the drawings that are as simple and original as they are strikingly beautiful, Jimmy Corrigan is a book unlike any other and certainly not to be missed.

"Full disclosure: I was the acquiring editor of this book for Pantheon, and back in 1999 I pitched it to the Random House sales force as ‘The “Ulysses” of comics.’ I think that description holds up just fine 18 years and just as many re-printings later."
