Because of this, I add to this review the caveat that this may indeed not be Seth's best work. It's a story taken from his sketchbook, an experiment. In fact, Seth himself tells us this it's clear, from the foreword that should probably be an afterword, that Seth sets exceedingly high standards for himself. Wimbledon Green is not his best work, I am told, not his most polished, not his most beautiful, not his most coherent. I recently recommended this book to my friend Faith, and fishy promptly suggested that I should recommend something else by Seth, not this. I went to a graphic novel about a fictionalized group of Canadian comic book collectors, and about one of those collectors in particular, a mysterious man by the name of Wimbledon Green. When I said I went a completely different direction after The Bell at Sealey Head, I meant it. Wimbledon Green: the greatest comic book collector in the world
