Reviews, as provided by YUP

'Brunetti's specific interests in the classic gag cartoon and the artists included here expand the dialogue started in Chris Ware's anthology in fruitful ways.'
Art Spiegelman

'An ambitious compendium of graphic narratives, designed to showcase both the varied styles and emotional depth of the field... . Broad in scope ... this stands to be ... a definitive text on American comic art for a good while.'
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

'Brunetti's got a fabulous eye for an artist's signature work... . Brunetti has gone beyond the obvious to create an anthology of what is truly the finest in comics.'
Publishers Weekly

'A good, well-rounded, and accessible introduction to the world of more serious 'art comics.' ... If you've got friends and relatives who don't understand why you're into 'comics,' this could be the gift you've been looking for... . A worthwhile addition to the world of comics.
Jeffrey Brown



Biography

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.

Ivan Brunetti is the creator of the comic Schizo, published by Fantagraphics, of which four issues have appeared. In 2005, he curated The Cartoonist's Eye, an exhibit of 75 artists' work, for the A+D Gallery of Columbia College Chicago. He lives in Chicago.
