A review by taylorhousebooks
The Best American Comics 2008 by Lynda Barry, Jessica Abel, Matt Madden

4.0

I only had two problems with this compilation: 1) several of the excerpts, while from excellent works, lost their impact when taken out of context; and 2) the transformations necessary to make all the disparate graphics fit into one format caused several of them to have very tiny print, which is not so good for one going slowly blind, such as myself. Otherwise, I completely loved this book and it has inspired me to read more graphics. I particularly enjoyed Burden by Graham Annable, Mammalogy by Eric Haven, Will and Abe in King of Monster Island by Matt Groening, and Part II The Benders Arrive from The Saga of the Bloody Benders by Rick Geary.
