Now in its fourth year, "Best American Comics" showcases the work of both established and up-and-coming contributers. Editor Charles Burns--cartoonist, illustrator, and official cover artist of the "Believer--"has culled the best stories from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, mini-comics, and the web to create this cutting-edge collection. Featuring the work of such luminaries as Chris Ware, KAZ, and Robert Crumb, this volume is "a genuine salute to comics" ("Houston Chronicle)."
