Anno: luglio 2011
Editore: Dark Horse Comics
Pagine: 567
Descrizione:
Shannon Wheeler was once just another ambitious cartoonist with some big ideas (and some small ones, too), a wicked sense of humor, a questioning spirit, and a coffee jones the size of a tanker truck. Who would have ever guessed that 10 years later, he would have multiple volumes of critically acclaimed cartoons under his belt and a rich, satisfying career?
Too Much Coffee Man Omnibus gathers all of the cartoons from four hilarious volumes of work, bringing together all of Wheeler's signature satire and sweetness in one convenient package. Essential for Too Much Coffee Man fans, and sure to convert new ones!
Shannon Wheeler, the recipient of multiple awards, began cartooning in the late 1980s while studying architecture at UC Berkeley, and he has worked in animation and illustration. Too Much Coffee Man, as a comic, has appeared internationally in newspapers, magazines, comic books, and graphic novels.
Dark Horse Comics has published five graphic novels that collect most of the work. His weekly strip, Postage Stamp Funnies, appears in the print edition of The Onion. 2006 saw the production of a Too Much Coffee Man Opera at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. It's the first opera to have been based on a comic book.
The omnibus format promises an extra-tall helping of laughs for a great price!

L'omnibus raccoglie tutte le tavole pubblicate online (ormai sembra che debba sempre avvenire così....). I disegni e le vignette sono veloci e sarcastici, un puro spaccato del nostro tempo.... Dopo un primo momento in cui non l'ho particolarmente capito, mi ha decisamente coinvolto. E' surreale e malinconico, sardonico e stupido, geniale e talvolta meta-fumettistico. L'universo di TMCM è spesso autoreferenziale, descrittivo più che "illustrativo" (splendido il passaggio in cui "salvano l'universo") ma allo stesso tempo è immediato, veloce e scorrevole.
Ottima scoperta!
