Product Description
Dark Horse Comics is proud to present this handsome hardbound collection of David Malki's Ignatz-nominated comic strip Wondermark. One of the Internet's new generation of self-syndicated comic creators, Malki repurposes illustrations and engravings from 19th-Century books into hilarious, collage-style comic strips.

HILARITY! October 9, 2008
I bought this book as a recommendation from the girl at the comic store and I re-read it almost every night, and I *still* laugh (it's been a month). If not for the "I DEMAND PIE" argument.
Hirsute Pursuit August 27, 2008
Embossed with golden print on the book spine, with the soft dark linen binding and filled with glossy smudge proof pages, David Malki hands over not just his comics, but additional footnotes and quips. Happy to see that this book is labeled 1, with hopefully more to come. Look forward to page 73, all is reveled there, hopes, dreams, and whys.

Even though I have read all of Wondermark's free online material, this purchase was still absolutely worth it. Not only for the bonus material, which went well beyond just extra strips, but because the comic holds up, and it's great to have a portable book for re-reading.
Bravo, Sir, Bravo I say. July 12, 2008
Bravo, I say!
Like all of Shelley's poetry, the works in this volume impose something of a pre-postmodernist matrix of assumptions about the nature of incipient reality upon the reader -- assumptions, I might add, not properly appreciable by those unfamiliar with the lovely depredations of absinthe or the glory of beards. As a proud possessor of several sprouted facial whiskers myself, I found myself deeply moved throughout.
If you can't have William Blake croon gentle poetry into your ear, this, then, is the next best thing.
Worth Every Pennyfarthing July 11, 2008
This is a beautiful collection of David Malki ! 's anachonistic webcomic potpourri. Likely to pry a wry grin from the lips of even the most humorless or otherwise sedated reader, Beards of Our Forefathers is a volume I am proud to have on my shelf. Highly recommended for both jocular humans and ursine connoisseurs of whimsical hats.
