The scope of these tales is vast, influenced as much by Calvino and Borges and other classical and modern literary traditions as by the history of comics. This book collects 44 of Pinsent's works into a massive compendium, personally selected and scanned by the artist. Half of the book is devoted to his most famous character, the rotund intellectual and spiritual adventurer Windy Wilberforce. These range from the early piece 'In the Land of the Jackanapes' to what may be the most spectacular work of all, 'The Saga of the Scroll' - long out of print and available for the first time in this larger format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 354\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 11.69 x 8.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43809038565511,"sku":"9780956214799","price":35.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/m2U2_fsay59780956214799.webp?v=1770313831","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/magic-mirror-a-compendium-of-comics-1983-1998-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
