A man in glasses and a suit stands behind a woman wearing a fur coat and hat. She speaks, while the man listens. Both appear to be in conversation, with speech bubbles of dialogue above their heads. The image is in black and white.

You Don’t Know Jack: Two-Fisted Comic-Store Manager is a 48-page comic-book collaboration between legendary Cerebus creator Dave Sim, real-life (now, former) comic-store manager Jack VanDyke, and artist Carson Grubaugh.

During the kickstarter for “You Don’t Know… Jack” (July-August, 2020), Carson included the option of creating your own package that combined the kickstarter rewards with some of the original art from the book. I like Carson’s work quite a bit (you can check out his stuff), and he has done as good a job as Dave does in understanding and capturing the methods that might have been used by these photorealist pioneers.
