About this Collection

This volume collects the thirteenth installment of Chris Ware's acclaimed Acme Novelty Library series, published by Fantagraphics. It features a selection of his intricately designed comic strips, including the ongoing story of Rusty Brown, presented with Ware's signature meticulous artwork and experimental page layouts.

In Acme Novelty Library #13, Chris Ware crafts a quiet, deeply observed story centered on Jimmy’s grandfather as a boy, navigating the quiet mysteries of the Chicago World’s Fair site and discovering that family and care come in many forms. With Ware’s signature precision and emotional depth, the issue explores small moments of connection and the quiet ways people learn about the world—and each other—through curiosity and kindness. The cover by Chris Ware captures the same thoughtful, nostalgic tone of the interior.
