Comic artist Ivan Brunetti, the creator of Schizo, offers a best-of anthology of contemporary art comics, along
with some classic comic strips and other historical materials that have retained a �modern� sensibility. As with
Chris Ware�s selections for his best-selling McSweeney�s anthology, Brunetti�s choices make for a highly personal
book (�my criteria were simple: these are comics that I savor and often revisit�) that serves as a broad historical
overview of the medium and a round-up of some of today�s best and most interesting North American comic artists.
Included here are works from such well-known artists as Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware, Ben
Katchor, Charles Burns, Gary Panter, Seth, Phoebe Gloeckner, Daniel Clowes, Lynda Barry, Joe Sacco, and Jaime and
Gilbert Hernandez, as well as many other pioneers whose names may be less familiar.
Brunetti offers selections from the works of more than seventy-five avant-garde comic artists. His selections
are arranged by genre and grouped thematically. Luxuriously produced and printed in four-color throughout, the
book is a must-have for collectors, aficionados, readers of comics, and those generally interested in cutting-edge
art and literature.
