An anthology near and dear to my heart, because it contains many of the artists that I first cut my comix teeth on. Some favorites from this mix: Lynda Barry; Robert Crumb; Krystine Kryttre]; [a:Jaime Hernandez; Mark Beyer; Kim Deitch; Paul Chadwick; Richard Sala; Dori Seda; and Joyce Farmer.
I love the eclectic mixes of these anthologies. I also love how they always reflect the editor's style and taste.

When I read a short review of Charles Burns’ new graphic novel, Black Hole, the description of the work it proffered (quoting from the book’s jacket: “the mid-1970’s…a strange plague has descended upon the area’s teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact.”) made me wonder if the man ever wrote about ...
