A perfect match of form and content, Storeyville was originally published in 1995 as a now-rare 40 page tabloid newspaper printed muted tones ranging from sandy yellow to a deep sepia. It follows the arc of a youthful adventure at the dawn of the 20th century. Will, a young man stuck in the industrial Pittsburgh of way-back-when is rarin’ to go, though he’s not sure where to, until he learns that his former mentor/partner/best-friend, the Reverend Rudy, has been sighted in Montreal, and then he’s off! Will’s adventure leads across exotic land and to an epiphany about life itself. All of this is told with humor, pathos and a gentle graphic flair for cityscapes, landscapes and seascapes.
I consider reading Storeyville for the first time one of the touchstones of my life as a cartoonist and the book itself one of the landmarks of comics’ development.–Chris Ware
Due to circumstances you wouldn’t believe if we told you, the text on pages II and III (in which we note the dates and specifications of Frank Santoro’s previous publications) is incorrect. This error does not affect the story at all, only the appendix. So, please do not hesitate to buy the book, as this mistake will not impair your enjoyment whatsoever.
The correct layout for those two pages can be downloaded here.
Please print this pdf file and insert it in your well-thumbed copy of Storeyville. We apologize for this error.
