The Book Collector by Daniel L. Maw


Our friend and Lucky Creature Attacks 1 artist Daniel L. Maw has released a printed version of his story the Book Collector. I got mine the other day and it’s a beautiful piece of work which meanders between dreamlike imagery, and Dr. Seuss on drugs. Those are good things in case you were wondering.

Description from Daniel
“For the first time in recorded human history, a complete and bound version of Daniel L. Maw’s epic comic strip “the book collector” is now available for your consumption.

See where the adventures take the mysterious girl and her ferocious fawn in their ambiguous and unnecessarily cute and drawn out story. Observe one painful non-sequitir and confusing page layout after another as Daniel’s shortcomings are revealed and he becomes distracted by commitments and life’s vicissitudes in the embarrassingly long 2 and 1/2 years it took him to make this comic. Notice the inconsistent pacing and drawing style that eventually developed to something nearly palatable about 2/3 the way into the book. Witness Daniel nearly cover most of his rent should he, remarkably and unthinkably, sell ALL the books he printed.

The edition is low and the price is cheap. Own all 62 laserjet printed pages (greyscale) on quality cream colored paper (legal size folded in half – each book measures 8.5″ x 7.5″) bound in a vinyl cover with a color silkscreen image on top. They come in blue and brown flavors. For all you collectors, there is also a color inkjet cover version to choose from as well. Own all 3! Send $8 (+$2 for shipping/handling if you live outside Knoxville) check or PayPal my way and be the first on your block to own this unheard of gem.”

Daniel’s email address to get one is mawdaniel@gmail.com.
I’d suggest you get one before they are all like valuable and stuff.
