A truly innovative wordless comic. This full-color hardbound version collects the previously published mini-comics in a surprising format. Each story represents tenant(s) on each floor of a building that has caught fire. Even though every aspect of this book, from the architectural construction to the comic craft, has been lovingly considered, each story is essentially an enjoyable gag. In other words, Jeff takes comics' potential seriously, but he doesn't take himself too seriously. (Posted on 2/13/13)
Creatively constructed, building-stories related comics are all the thing these days. There's Chris Ware's acclaimed Building Stories, of course. But before that came out, Zwirek was putting out Building Stories that were designed to be read in a certain way - each one a look into the apartment of someone in a building that happened to be on fire. The collected hardcover here is also a unique narrative experience. (Posted on 2/13/13)
