Chester Brown is creepier than Joe Matt Review by Scott Huffines

Staff Pick Review by Dina Kelberman

This is basically Chester Brown's diary about giving up on romantic relationships and instead taking up seeing prostitutes regularly. I didn't read all of the notes in the back because I don't care what Chester Brown thinks about the morality of prostitution, I just really liked the story and the way it was written and drawn.

from The Mobtown Shank Review by Benn Ray

Brown's Paying For It has two things going on. One is a borderline-journalistic, biographical comic on the life of Johns and prostitutes. The other is a sort of a manifesto for the decriminalization of prostitution. The autobiographical side is masterful and engaging. The manifesto side allows rational thought to be clouded by impractical libertarian ideology. Regardless, Brown's nugget of a book stokes an interesting conversation worth having. (Posted on 1/31/12)
