Conventional wisdom states that cartooning and graphic novels exist in a golden age of creativity, popularity, and critical acceptance. But why? Today, the signal is stronger than ever, but so is the noise. New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Bookforum critic Ben Schwartz assembles the greatest lineup of comics critics the world has yet seen to testify on behalf of this increasingly vital medium. Best American Comics Writing is the first attempt to collate the best criticism to date of the graphic novel boom in a way that contextualizes and codifies one of the most important literary movements of the last 60 years. This collection begins in 2000, the game changing year that Pantheon released the graphic novels Jimmy Corrigan and David Boring. Originally serialized as "alternative" comics, they went on to confirm the critical and commercial viability of graphic literature. Via its various authors, this collection functions as a valuable readers' guide for fans, academics, and librarians, tracing the current comics renaissance from its beginnings and creative growth to the cutting edge of today's artists. This volume includes Daniel Clowes (Ghost World) in conversation with novelist Jonathan Lethem (Fortress of Solitude), Chris Ware, Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections), John Hodgman (The Daily Show, The Areas of My Expertise, The New York Times Book Review), David Hajdu (The 10-Cent Plague), Douglas Wolk (Publishers Weekly, author of the Eisner award-winning Reading Comics), Frank Miller (Sin City and The Spirit film director) in conversation with Will Eisner (The Spirit's creator), Gerard Jones' (Men of Tomorrow), Brian Doherty (author Radicals of Capitalism, This is Burning Man) and critics Ken Parille (Comic Art), Jeet Heer (The National Post), R.C. Harvey (biographer of Milton Caniff), and Donald Phelps (author of the landmark book of comics criticism, Reading the Funnies). Best American Comics Writing also features a cover by nationally known satirist Drew Friedman (The New York Observer, Old Jewish Comedians) in which Friedman asks, "tongue-in-cheek," if cartoonists are the new literati, what must their critics look like?

A few years ago you used to be able to go to Gary Panter’s studio most days at noon and he’d put on a lightshow for you. I did it and have never quite been the same since. He made semi-decipherable posters for these shows, and this is one of them, a visionary blend of type and image. Nobody does it better. Meditate on the cosmic high that is this poster.

American Shit for Brains is a massive, gorgeous offset poster by Brian Chippendale. Enjoy a rare chance to live inside Brian’s cat and comic infested brain.

Brand new and delightful NK 6. Yes, this is the premier book of Euro art noise – there are old and young kooks in here alike. Once again, I love this thing as an heir to ESDS and Bazooka and similarly forward thinking transgressive post punk mags. Here was have 196 pages of art by the likes of CF, Leon Sadler, Pascal Doury, Hendrik Hegray, Frederic Fleury and many others. Great shit.
