Product Description
Product Description
The tiny, isolated fising village of Large Mouth never saw much excitement -- until the arrival of the stranger, that is. Wrapped from head to toe in bandages and wearing weird goggles, he quietly took up residence in the sleepy town's motel.Driven by curiousity, the townfolk quickly learn the tragic story of his past, and of the terrible accident that left him horribly disfigured. Eventually, the town embraces the stranger as one of their own -- but do his bandages hide more than just scars?

The Nobody is amazing, July 12 2009
By Robert D. Kidd, Jr. "book raven" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Nobody (Hardcover)
Jeff Lemire creates an entrancing work with both words and art in his contribution to the invisible man mythology. The two tone character of the panels is well done (a technique which is harder than it looks). This book has a way of creeping up on you and all of a sudden you are transported into the small town of Large Mouth and all the citizens that inhabit it. Lemire showed himself to be a great talent in the comic world with his "Essex County" trilogy and this latest work takes his talent and ability to the next level. He takes chances with some of the panels and lay out which only enhances the experience. Found myself reading it a second time after I had finished just to pick up all the things that I missed in the first read. It doesn't get much better than this in the graphic novel world.

Wondering What It Means, Sep 9 2011
By JSmalls - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Nobody (Paperback)
I enjoyed this work -- the writing, the illustration, the sense of desolation in the people and the place -- but I can't really tell you what Lemire was trying to convey. I'm still thinking about that, in fact. Not because he failed, but because he is really thoughtful here. If he was trying to convey that what we see in others may be how we see ourselves, then this story is all the better ...
