This graphic novel collects comics drawn between 1989 and 2004 about the author's stint as a Mosquito Abatement Man in Illinois and Colorado. It's a quirky topic, but the end result is insightful, particularly where he decided to leave the job he's done for five years.

A very quick, but engrossing, read. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 097652550X, Paperback)

Diary of a Mosquito Abatement Man is the first in a series of books from La Mano collecting the work of John Porcellino. Over the course of 15 years and 64 issues of his much-loved, self published 'zine KING-CAT Comics and Stories, John has chronicled his life and the world around him with honesty, grace, and intelligence.

"Diary" compiles stories from a decade's worth of KING-CAT on the subject of his years spent as a mosquito exterminator. From early, scratchy punk drawings to later, more refined work (as well as 30 brand-new pages created specifically for this edition...), John examines his time on the job, and how it affected his life, his health, and his view of the world.
