Authors,

Seth’s serial novel in the New York Times

Seth – aka “the only Canadian graphic novelist other than Chester Brown I’ve ever heard of”* – has recently begun a serialized graphic novel in the New York Times, entitled George Sprott (1894-1975).

So far, only the prologue and the first chapter have been published.

What’s it about? Hmm, something about an old TV host… memories… there’s some Inuit there….

OK, we have no idea. Given that the title suggests the main character died more than 30 years ago, we can only assume it will be chock full of Seth’s signature ol’-timey nostalgia.

Take a look at the link below.

(Warning: the chapters download in PDF format.)

* does Joe Shuster, the creator of Superman, count?
