Evenson reveals the dramatic effects that Brown's revisions, even minor changes to a drawing or a panel's placement, have on his comics. With Ed vs. Yummy Fur, Brown's work finally gets the sustained attention it deserves.\"--Ken Parille, editor of The Daniel Clowes Reader","brand":"Uncivilized Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528681103703,"sku":"9780984681495","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780984681495.jpg?v=1731872567","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ed-vs-yummy-fur-9780984681495","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
