Recommending A Comic Book Series I Found At The Library
One of the best things about living near the library is being able to discover new books, especially the local ones that don't make it to the international press. It's been ages since i last read a comic book so i didn't have much hope when i picked up The Resident Tourist that was on display.
I'm really glad i did though. Unlike your traditional comic books where there's a hero or villain or maybe some love story, The Resident Tourist is about life through the eyes of the writer/artist.
Many of the stories resonate with me because i've had those same conversations with friends and family before and it's fascinating how two different people who've never met (the author and myself), have had many similar life experiences. I guess there are some things that bind us on this tiny island.
The writer also went to the same secondary school as me (although he was a few years senior), so it was fun to see some of my teachers featured in the book as well. Their catchphrases hadn't changed even after close to ten years.
Borrowing the collection
I've just finished parts 1-4 and can't wait to start on the 3 remaining books. It might be hard to find in bookstores overseas so if you're interested, the artist's page is at www.drearyweary.com.
Interesting books! It's great that you found out that the writer also went to the same secondary school as you.... It would be good memory for you to read those things. ;)
Thank you @tangmo. Indeed it was such a surprising coincidence haha
You're welcome! Ah! And you're very lucky! Ha ha! ;)
can i have it in the internet?
Yes, i think you can buy it off the site. It used to be free but he took that down a while back. There are a couple of other series that are free on the site though.
Thank you so much for suggesting such a nice book. Gonna check it online because it is not available in stores here.
Reading is one the important part to get an extra knowledge even it is just for fun. Thanks
Nice find. I do love comics however rarely take a chance on anything I know nothing about - but I guess thats where the living by the library comes in handy.
