The Best American Comics 2007: Chris Ware, Editor; Anne Elizabeth Moore, Series Editor; David Heatley, Dust Jacket and Covers

“In its second year, the annual anthology really hits its stride. Editor Ware is one of the most acclaimed artists to emerge from the graphic-narrative boom of the past decade. Here, he and series editor Moore have done a brilliant job of not merely surveying the year’s best (an impossible task, admits Ware in the introduction), but showing how they fit together and why they matter.”

“The latest addition to the publisher’s venerable Best American series not only provides an expansive survey of the contemporary graphic landscape, but serves as an effective introduction to an art long consigned to the cultural underground…A worthy launch for what appears destined to become a valuable annual anthology.”

“The Best American Comics 2006 is an elegant and entertaining showcase for their very best works, and a genuine signpost on the road to the now-obvious future of comics as an artform.”

“The idea of Houghton Mifflin’s distinguished Best American series turning to the comics would once have seemed unlikely, but the powerful narratives in this collection prove why it’s a good idea…this volume shows the Best American Comics concept to be a showcase for thought-provoking and evocative work.”
