George Sprott: (1894-1975) Review: This Isn't George Bailey! George Sprott Circa 1894-1975 - I would think almost everyone knows the classic story of George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life". George Bailey is rescued from committing suicide on Christmas Eve by Clarence the wingless angel. Mr. Bailey thought that the world would be a better place without him. With the help of the narrators Franklin and Joseph along with our wingless angel, we all see the real merit of George Bailey's life. Seth's narrative graphic depiction of George Sprott's life can be the antithesis of "It's a Wonderful Life". Utilizing all the major events of George Sprott's life we see a graphic narrative which emanates sadness, lost opportunities, narcissism, and loneliness and yes fame. Yes George Sprott gains a rather local limited fame and makes many acquaintances but are they true friends? Seth goes back and forth in his multi-narratives in which we learn of what people saw and thought of George Sprott. Unlike "It's a Wonderful Life", Seth does not do his story in chronological order. Rather Seth jumps to a disparity of years, not in order, to convey certain philosophies and points of order. You will see a man struggling for a life of meaning and unlike George Bailey, George Sprott does not have an angel to guide him. In as much as Sprott does not lead the "hometown hero" life of Mr. Bailey, Seth offers the fact that all life, even less than fulfilling ones are worth living. Seth's use of graphics in showing a small Canadian town are, how can I say it, "Sethesque". His story line again in the narrative and graphic depictions are what Edward Hopper conveyed in his art. I don't have enough Stars!! Great graphic novella from Seth's hand!!! Review: Monochromatic shining treasure-chest - Here is the story of 20th century Canada, in living rooms and bedrooms, in woods and frame houses and imagined igloos and under curtains of colored lights. It is a philosophy of a lived life, real and tangible human relationships, the sagging-to-sleep of old age, the humbugging and pride and groping of the day-to-day, and then the sweeping away of memories and the extinguishment of life like turning off a television set and the light fading to a point and vanishing. And the turning on of a life, the spotlights illumine a stage where the settings and prompts are predetermined, where we as actors and actresses strut and go. George Sprott is not merely the story of a man in a place and time (although it is fully that), it is the story of Everyman, every one. This is high art. This is comics at their ultimate peak, where the media and the message merge to go as deeply as you wish, where the tundra is as wide and broad as under any Earthly sky, but where limits are predefined and inescapable. A book that reminds us why we love and need books. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,871,921 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #242 in Drawn & Quarterly Comic & Graphic Novels #2,035 in Literary Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (34) | | Dimensions | 12.22 x 0.69 x 14.33 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1897299516 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1897299517 | | Item Weight | 2.75 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of Series | George Sprott | | Print length | 96 pages | | Publication date | May 26, 2009 | | Publisher | Drawn and Quarterly | ## Images ![George Sprott: (1894-1975) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OrCNZr5ML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Isn't George Bailey!

Everything I've seen him do has been amazing, and this book is no exception. I hate to sound like a gushing fanboy, but Seth just amazes me. This wonderful book follows the life of a fictional character from local Canadian TV history. George Sprott is not a perfect person, which only serves to make him more human. The story is told with such grace, and dignity. The actual book is an art project all by itself. It is beautifully bound. The oversize pages really let Seth's artwork shine. The photographs of the cardboard models Seth made of some of the key buildings in the story were a nice surprise and really added to the overall atmosphere of the book. If you like Seth, you've got to have this book. And if you've never heard of Seth, what rock have you been living under? You've got to check out this book to see what you've been missing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11756785-george-sprott-1894-1975](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11756785-george-sprott-1894-1975) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
