INCOMPLETE WORKS: First North American Edition - Softcover

"If 2015's Sam Zabel And The Magic Pen was for those of us in a certain sweet spot of alt-comics readership a long weekend spent in the company of a former high school crush, Incomplete Works is the contents of a box under your a bed in your parents' home that studied closely and with great patience reveals the details of that time period, but perhaps only to you and a few dozen people just like you. A cornucopia of false starts, short stories and misapprehensions in comics form, this surprisingly satisfying volume drives our attention to a place where Horrocks seems as maddeningly comfortable as any imaginary town where comics are taken seriously: a place of creation where there's little hope for success and even less so for a sequel." --Tom Spurgeon, The Comics Reporter "[Dylan Horrocks] finds a balance for poetry and comics, weaving in narratives that allow for the opaqueness of his words but are brought out in his visual work." -- John Seven, The Comics Beat "In my ideal world all comics readers would own Incomplete Works, having devoured either Hicksville or Sam Zabel first. " -- Stephen Burt, Rain Taxi "This collection is a great road map of Horrocks' comics career to date, and I'm sure I'll be adding plenty more of his works to my bookshelf in the future." -- Adrian Kinnaird, From Earth's End "If 2015's Sam Zabel And The Magic Pen was for those of us in a certain sweet spot of alt-comics readership a long weekend spent in the company of a former high school crush, Incomplete Works is the contents of a box under your a bed in your parents' home that studied closely and with great patience reveals the details of that time period, but perhaps only to you and a few dozen people just like you.

Daydreams, fantasy, true love and procrastination feature strongly in this marvelous selection of Dylan Horrocks's shorter comics. Running from 1986 to 2012, Incomplete Works is both the chronicle of an age and a portrait of one man's heroic struggle to get some work done. From the creator of Hicksville and Sam Zabel and the Magic Pen.
