4.0 out of 5 starsSome Good and Some Not So Good
By David Swan VINE VOICE on December 1, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is the second year in a row that Ivan Brunetti's `Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons & True Stories' has taken on `The Best American Comics'. Last year I gave the winning prize to Brunetti, although he does have a distinct advantage in that he doesn't limit himself to just a single year. So for 2008 which one is better? This year I'm declaring it a tie not because they were both so spectacular but because neither distinguished itself enough to win me over.

The whole cast of Alternative artists appear including R. Crumb, Harvey Pekar, Chris Ware, Seth, Kaz, Kevin Huizenga and dozens and dozens more. My litmus test for success in these anthologies is whether or not I discover a new artist intriguing enough that I purchase something else by them. The artist that most caught my eye this time was R. Sikoryak who did some brilliant parodies of 1950's Action Comic covers with an unpleasant character named `The Stranger' in place of Superman. I can't really do it justice trying to describe it. You have to see it to understand. Unfortunately it's only two pages long and I couldn't find any books devoted solely to Mr. Sikoryak who seems to only do compilations and covers for magazines like the New Yorker.

The comics in this collection run the entire gamut from the rough stick figures of Elinore Norflus and weird primitive drawing of Paper Rad (that look like they were done by a five year old) to the high school level art of Gary Painter, John Pocellino and Carlos Golus. On the other end of the spectrum is the frighteningly precise graphic design art of Chris Ware and the clean, profession lines of Jamie Hernandez. Anders Nilson gets the award for the most bizarre comics but in this case it's not really a compliment.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsgreat collection
By Frog on September 2, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book is exactly what I expected it to be, just pure entertainment and fun to read. Some stories are kind of disturbing, you know, the kind with way too much information in which nasty sex plays a big part, so this book can be too heavy sometimes if you are not in the mood for crazy shit. Bottom line is that I enjoy mostly the element of surprise everytime I turned a page.

5.0 out of 5 starsYou just can't go wrong when you grab a comics anthology...
By Elizabeth Simone Gallatin-Eberly on October 30, 2008
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
...For your entertainment dollar, comics anthologies are very much the way to go, and especially when you're new to the genre, or searching for new authors or artists. Brunetti (the man responsible for this collection, and its predecessor, An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories (Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, & True Stories)) is an accomplished cartoonist in his own right and has put together quite the stable of iconic authors/artists/titles here. (See the editorial review above for a pretty representative listing of these...)

However, whether this is a pro or a con is very much dependent on your point of view. Although I enjoyed re-visiting some old friends and their favorites, I might have been happier had I seen just a few more pieces that I didn't already recognize. Not that I'll be kicking this hefty tome out of my collection anytime soon. I'm just sayin'...

Lastly, I have to point out: Sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover, and this is one of those times. I am absolutely smitten with the cleverness of the cloud/thought bubble and lampshade/speech bubble in the main cover pic! A great indicator of the good things to come once you get between these covers. At 400 pages- -and almost three pounds- -this book is well worth the pittance you'll remit!

Really works as an anthology, several interesting stories and styles here (unlike some anthologies out there which seem like mere hodge-podges)
