The Long and Unlearned Life of Roland Gethers. An epic tale of life at the height of the British Empire, as represented by the 89-year lifespan of Roland Gethers. All characters are drawn in long shot, so that they appear as tiny black dots in the distance. The entire epic is portrayed in this fashion, in rows of little square panels – 3840 panels, to be precise. A triumph of compressed comics. Story and art by Shane Simmons. Included in Paul Gravetts 2008 book The Worlds Weirdest Comic Books. Black and white; 28 pages. Cover price $2.95. Cover price $2.95.
