The Cardboard Valise is Katchor’s latest collection of comic strips. Published by Pantheon, the book has bee getting some great press prior to its release on March 15.
Newsweek
“Katchor is plainly steeped in the tropes of his craft, but ultimately he is uncategorizable, a man apart…Katchor may shy away from the word “artist,” but he does what every great artist does: clarifies things you knew but didn’t know you knew, or didn’t know how to articulate.”
Comics Journal
“Ben Katchor is the best world-builder in comics today.”
It was also chosen as an Amazon book of the month.
“Like those wafer-thin nations of his imagination, Katchor has made an entire world out of his narrow domain, and it’s as rich and vast (and sad and hilarious) a world as any writer or artist working today has concocted.”
