Another Epic Big Nate book which like the first one was actually a very enjoyable read.
Many thanks to Netgalley and publisher
'Epic Big Nate' by Lincoln Peirce is an epic celebration of a pretty great comic strip. At 472 pages, there are tons of great laughs to be found in here.
The two-volume set (!) starts with a great foreword by David Hendin. We learn the background and history of how the comic strip was started and how it evolved. Then there are generous selections from 24 years worth of comics. Along with the comics, there are some side comments from the artist explaining different aspects of the comic and where some gags come from. The book has an intermission of sorts in the middle with a Q & A between Lincoln Peirce and author Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid).
This comic has been around a long time! And it's still consistently funny. I enjoyed seeing how the strip has developed, and especially the character of Nate. I really like this series and it was fun to get to read this.
