| For years comics have been clawing their way into the mainstream literary world, earning a grudging respect next to more traditional or, as cartoonists like to say, 'text-only' books'. Chris Ware - author of Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth - has gathered together some of the world's best writers-who-can-also-draw and presents here the first comprehensive collection of their work.
Contributors include Daniel Clowes, Gary Panter, Charles Burns, Art Spiegelman, Ben Katchor, Kim Deitch, Adrian Tomine, Joe Sacco, Seth, Joe Matt, Chester Brown, and Kaz - amongst many, many others. In addition to this, guest editor Ware and series editor (the other issues are not comic-based) Dave Eggers have compiled a delightful miscellany of comics history and other intriguing pieces - a real treasury contained in a lovely hardback edition.
