The excellent Jeff Lemire has revamped his official website and blog; if you’ve not read Jeff before its a good time to get in on his work, which I’m glad to see is gaining a wider audience. I first came across Jeff’s work via the engrossing Essex County trilogy which Top Shelf published (the series, set in a partly imagined version of his home stomping ground and characters in Ontario, was gathered into an omnibus edition this summer, highly recommended if you haven’t picked it up yet), DC has now published a hardback of his The Nobody while he also has an ongoing DC/Vertigo series, Sweeth Tooth, running at the moment (with a trade collection due sometimes mid 2010). If you’re already a Lemire fan go and check it out, if you’re not then you should be reading him (yes, that is another good suggestion for a Xmas present!).
