| Welcome to the world of Disquietville.
You'll meet Doug, Milo, Margie, Sam and Patrick. All seem to be artistically inclined in very different ways - and their lives often intersect.
Staff Review:
Averaging 18 color panels per page, Disquietville puts the "mini" in mini comics. But the small, consistent paneling suits Spottswood's playful narrative as he, in an Altman-esque fashion, tells the story of a handful of Disquietville residents whose lives intersect. Whether it's a lone cartoonist, a young couple of graphic designers, the asshole artist in his studio or the All-Mart counter clerk, each character represents a different type of artistic temperament. His characterization is masterful, and his ability to convey life in Disquietville in such minimal-yet-stylized panels is ridiculously compelling.
