About the Book

This newest edition to the Best American Series—“A genuine salute to comics” (Houston Chronicle)—returns with a set of both established and up-and-coming contributors.

Editor Lynda Barry and and brand new series editors Jessica Abel and Matt Madden—acclaimed cartoonists in their own right—have sought out the best stories culled from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, mini-comics, and the Web to create this cutting-edge collection “perfect for newbies as well as fans” (The San Diego Union Tribune).

This newest volume features luminaries like Chris Ware, Seth, and Alison Bechdel alongside Paul Pope’s “Batman” and beloved daily cartoonists like Matt Groening.
