Book -- Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel

A dark tale by Lynda Barry, with her signature sense of wicked humor. Illustrated in black-and-white in Barry's trademark style (see pics). "Now the truth can finally be revealed," writes 16-year-old Roberta Rohbeson, "about the mysterious day long ago when the authorities found a child, calmly walking in the boiling desert, covered with blood...." Paperback, 305 pages. Bought new, still in excellent used condition (pages slightly yellowed with age, price reflects).
