...those who read Clowes' Ice Haven and found the constantly shifting visual styles a distraction, Tricked will be much easier to enjoy. Drawn with pen and ink in an unpretentious style, the artwork mediates nicely, if unspectacularly, between realism and caricature. What it lacks in experimentation it makes up for in clarity. Robinson keeps the layouts interestingly varied but always readable, and even occasionally does some stretching with scenes like the swirling panels of characters and events that culminate the climactic chapter. In another nice graphical touch, the lettering accompanying Steve's story becomes increasingly unsteady as he descends into...
...noticed. Pulp Fiction (1994), Magnolia (1999) and this year's Crash are all movies that use multiple, seemingly unrelated storylines weaving across each other or culminating in one climactic event. Graphic novels have also started to explore this technique. Earlier this year Dan Clowes' impressive Ice Haven (a repackaging of his comic book Eightball #22) bounced among the denizens of a suburban town. The latest book to use this style, Tricked (Top Shelf Productions; $20), by Alex Robinson, comes from an author who works in large scale. His first graphic novel, Box Office Poison (2001), spent over 500 pages examining...
...large crowd. The arena has a concert capacity of 16,500, and tonight’s contest could easily shatter the old ECAC record of 7,460 fans.

In Wright, the publisher found a battle-hardened veteran of the magazine world with 11 books already under his belt. In the early 1960s, Wright, recently graduated from a famous New Haven, Conn. safety school, worked as an editor at Holiday Magazine, whose list of contributors included Truman Capote. Wright once rewrote a story on time zones under the byline of Ian Fleming after the submission of the 007 creator didn’t stack up to Holiday’s standards.Wright left...
...President Steven C. Syverud. The YCC hosted a similar party, which attracted 1,400 people, before the 2003 Game. In addition, the YCC is compiling a list of events the night before The Game, Syverud said. The list, which will be posted on YaleStation.org, will include information about New Haven clubs, restaurants, and transportation. While Syverud said the new regulations aim to prevent the damage that Yale residential colleges incurred two years ago, some students said they think the new restrictions will cause even more problems. “Regardless of whether or not policies are in place, parties...
