The Best American Comics 2007

“Even a casual flip-through of the pages of this book will demonstrate a highly individual approach by each and every artist, all with the aim of getting at something new or, more precisely, real. I also would hope that any good annual anthology should have a sort of ‘desert island’ condensation to it … even if every single comic produced between August 2005 and August 2006 suddenly and mysteriously vaporized, this book should still at least hint at what was most interesting, honest, and revealing to be published during the last year.” —Chris Ware, from the Introduction
