The most anticipated issue to date of Seth's iconic comics digest, Palookaville 23 marks the culmination of twenty years of serialization: here, Clyde Fans comes to a conclusion. In this final chapter, we return to Simon Matchcard and the year 1957- exactly where we left off at the end of the first Clyde Fans volume. After his disastrous attempt at sales in the city of Dominion, we witness the out of body experience and ec- static "vision" that sets Simon on his path of lonely isolation in the years to come. But of course that's not all-an issue of Palookaville always feels a bit like coming home-a comforting structure that promises new surprises and updates on old favou- rites.
