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.… (plus d'informations)
wow, two volumes dedicated to graphic fiction. the one thing that i missed was reading the stories in whole, was just teased too many times through the course of the book. brunetti does a great job selecting & organizing though. appreciated the criticism of clowes' "gynecologist" after the story, now i know what it was all about!

"Cartooning is a peculiar art form, a 'convergence of seeing and reading,' as has been pointed out by Chris Ware." (from Introduction, by Ivan Brunetti). Beutiful sourcebook to be used in interdisciplinary courses including the arts, literature and English, pop culture, and history.
A sampling of Who's Who in comic art of the 20th century. Contributors include Chris Ware, Robert Crumb, Seth, Art Spiegelman, Daniel Raeburn, Charles M Schulz and many others. There is an introduction, but mostly the book is just examples of each of the cartoonists' work. Sometimes surreal, sometimes moving - always excellent. ( )
This is a wonderful collection, and although not quite on a par with the earlier (and very similar) McSweeney's Quarterly Concern Issue 13, it nonetheless manages to provide a comprehensive overview of comics, cartoons, and other "graphic fiction." The inclusion of Charles Schulz's "Developing a Comic Strip" article is a treat, and some of the individual strips included herein are simply brilliant.
That said, there are a few duds in the mix, including marginal pieces by David Heatley, Mark Beyer, Jeffrey Brown, and several other mediocre creators. But then again, this volume includes Jaime Hernandez's stunning "Flies on the Ceiling", and it's hard to lob too much negative criticism on any collection that includes a contribution from Marc Bell. If you're looking for a wide-ranging, beautifully published introduction to the field, you could do a lot worse than Brunetti's An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories. ( )
