Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A new oversized (12" x 7") hardcover collection of one of America's most beloved weekly comic strips. Tony Millionaire's Maakies is one of the most popular weekly comic strips in America, running in over ten of the largest US weekly newspapers, including the New York Press, New Times Los Angeles, and Seattle's The Stranger. Maakies features the comical adventures of a drunken crow on the high seas, blending vaudeville-style humor and a breathtaking line that harkens back to the glory days of the American comic strip. Designed by publishing's foremost graphic designer, Chip Kidd, The House at Maakies Corner features a year's worth of Maakies in a beautiful, deluxe hardcover format that complements the strip's elegant and classical style. Maakies suggests a contemporary collaboration between E. C. Segar, creator of Popeye, and seafaring novelist Patrick O'Brian (Millionaire is a tremendous fan of both). Millionaire has won multiple Harvey and Eisner Awards and Maakies has appeared as a series of animated segments on NBC's Saturday Night Live. Review:[T]osses all notions of highbrow and lowbrow into a blender and comes up with a nice fruity daiquiri. (The Stranger) Review:Tony Millionaire's comics are so good he should be called Tony Billionaire. (Matt Groening) Review:Reading Tony Millionaire's darkly luscious comics is like losing that still unacquired bitter reality taste for a moment... (Andy Dick) Review:What separates this alternative comic strip...is Millionaire's insanely detailed artwork and his unrivaled f--ked-upedness. (Alive, 5 December 2002, J. Caleb Mozzocco) Review:Nobody alive draws better sailing ships, sea battles, woolly mammoths, runaway brains, or Pasteurella Pestis than Tony Millionaire. (Hermenaut) Review:There's a darkness to his work, yet everything is treated with this gung-ho adventurous spirit, which is funny in itself. (Bob Odenkirk) Review:Alternates between an almost sincere romanticism and a wholly unpredictable cartoonism...a must-read for comics fans. (Publishers Weekly) Review:America's best newspaper strip. Eerily hilarious. (Alternative Press) Review:The off-color ministrip along the bottom is often a riot. (Seattle Times, Mark Rainer) Synopsis:A graphic novel. About the AuthorTony Millionaire was born in Gloucester, MA.
