Noah Van Sciver is haunted by the house at 133 ____ Street, or as his brothers rechristened it “One Dirty Tree.” This sprawling dilapidated New Jersey house was his first home and the site of formative experiences. Growing up in a big, poor, Mormon family―surrounded by comic-books, eight siblings, bathtubs full of dirty dishes―Noah’s childhood exerts a powerful force on his present day relationship. Drawn in his inimitable style, written with wry wit and humor, One Dirty Tree is another reason why Noah Van Sciver is one of the best cartoonists of his generation.

I've been searching for readings in English, and Noah Van Sciver was a great find.

I started with the comic book "More Mundane," and to be honest, I'm still reading it. Then, without any connection, I noticed "One Dirty Tree" on my Amazon wish list. I had added it simply because I liked the synopsis and the art—just that! Immediately, I felt drawn to it.

When I had the opportunity to buy that comic book, I jumped at the chance. As I began reading, I realized, "Oh my gosh, I already know this author!" This has happened to me with other books in Portuguese—what a great surprise!

I loved the story of this comic and had an amazing experience. I hope to read more comics by him in the future.
