Hark! A Vagrant / Kate Beaton

Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton. 166 p.

This absolutely gorgeous book collects some of my favorite examples of Kate Beaton's webcomic (it's at harkavagrant.com).
Many of the comics are based on historical figures, but my absolute favorites are the literature-based ones, especially the MacBeth sequence. Beaton's ability to capture facial expressions is just great.

The book itself has great production values without being overly expensive. The comics aren't all squished together, and they're reproduced at a size that's easy to read. Some of my friends are definitely getting this for Christmas this year.

Check our catalog.

Here's one of her best-known comics. If you enjoy this, go check out her website right now.
