Wimbledon
Green
by Seth (Drawn
and Quarterly)
Nominated for Best Book
Meet Wimbledon Green, the self-proclaimed world’s
greatest comic book collector who brokered the world’s best comic book
deal in the history of collecting. Comic book retailers, auctioneers, and
conventioneers from around North America, as well as Green’s collecting
rivals, weigh in on the man and his vast collection of comic books. Are
Green’s intentions honorable? Does he truly love comics or is he driven
by the need to conquer? Lastly, is he really even Wimbledon Green?
A charming and amusing caper where comic book collecting
is a world of intrigue and high finance. Part riotous chase, part whimsical
character sketch, Wimbledon Green looks at the need to collect and the
need to reinvent oneself.
"Mostly this is pretty darn funny, and a pleasure
to read." (Tom
Spurgeon)
