Summary

Noah Van Sciver is haunted by the house at 133 ____ Street, or as his brothers rechristened it "One Dirty Tree." This sprawling dilapidated New Jersey house was his first home and the site of formative experiences. Growing up in a big, poor, Mormon family-surrounded by comic-books, eight siblings, bathtubs full of dirty dishes-Noah's childhood exerts a powerful force on his present day relationship. Drawn in his inimitable style, written with wry wit and humor, One Dirty Tree is another reason why Noah Van Sciver is one of the best cartoonists of his generation. Noah Van Sciver first came to national attention with his critically acclaimed comic book series Blammo , which has earned him three Ignatz award nominations. His work has appeared in Mad magazine, Best American Comics 2011 , and The Stranger , as well as countless graphic anthologies. Van Sciver is the author of four graphic novels: The Hypo: The Melancholic Young Lincoln, Youth Is Wasted, Saint Cole , and Fante Bukowski: Struggling Writer . Van Sciver currently resides in Columbus, OH
