Webcomic Weekly: Jeff McComsey’s ‘A Brief History Of George Smiley’

Once more into the webcomics… webcomic whenever might be a more apt title but I shall prevail. Today, Jeff McComsey adapts John le Carre‘s George Smiley…

Jeff McComsey is an American writer/illustrator whose work in comics stretches back fifteen years. He’s editor-in-chief of the New York Times best-selling historical zombie anthology FUBAR, now in its sixth volume. Other works include American Terror (Alterna Comics); Flutter (215 Ink); Project: Riese (Mad Cave); and three from AWA – Grendel, Kentucky with Tommy Lee Edwards, The Fourth Man with Mike Deodato Jr. and Little Black Book with Felipe Cunha.

A Brief History Of George Smiley is, as McComsey says on his website:

A fan comic I did adapted from the first chapter of the first book written by John le Carre

And it’s rather splendid, a really thoughtful and well put together adaptation of the work… here’s the first few pages. Head to either Twitter here or to Jeff’s website here for the rest.

And for a little more from Jeff, there’s plenty more to see on his website, but I’ll leave you with a couple from Six-Panel Cinema, which is exactly what the name says, a film in just six panels. Two below but he’s also done Sexy Beast, Aces High, Duellists, The Deer Hunter, The Shawshank Redemption, and Memento.
