Contributors include Lynda Barry, R. and Aline Crumb, Kim Deitch, Gilbert Hernandez, Seth, and Art Spiegelman. Review:"While many of the strips reflect the respect the form has earned from mainstream media, there's still plenty of work here that pushes the boundaries of format and taste." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"The collections variety demonstrates the vast potential of the medium, and thats without a single representative of the superhero and other mainstream genres." Booklist
