The latest installment of this comic by Seth is set in Dominion, Ontario, circa 1957. It’s the continuing story of fan salesman Simon Matchcard. It seems Simon has hit a bit of a dry spell and is having trouble selling fans. Full of quirky characters wandering about in a somber and atmospheric land; this story has a feel that is more akin to an old black and white movie rather than a comic. Wonderful art, and impressive writing, here’s a great comic that provides an alternative to all the whiz-bang super books out there. (SD)
