Comic Arf
by Various
Another great Arf book for 2008, featuring one of the greatest cartoonists of all time - Milt Gross! The Gross-ness begins on the cover with a stunning painting by the Count of Cartoons depicting Uncle Sam as he grinds up a sea of immigrants into a parade of classic comic strip characters. During the 1920s Gross drew a comic strip that left the last panel blank for aspiring artists. Arf series editor Craig Yoe has drafted a Who's Who of contemporary cartoonists to complete Gross' unfinished masterpieces, among them Art Spiegelman, Patrick McDonnell, R. Crumb, Bil Keane, Johnny Ryan, Jaime Hernandez, Mike Mignola, and more! For the history buff, Comic Arf delivers with showcases of Dudley Fisher, Arch Dale, and a hard-hitting chapter entitled "The 15 Most Powerful Anti-War Cartoons of History."

A great comic collection, and creativity galore. What a good time.

Craig Yoe offers another impressive collection that redefines wide-ranging. The scope is international and celebrates, as the title says, "the unholy marriage of art and comics." The Milt Gross section alone contains perhaps the largest variety of new material by top comic artists, including new panels by R Crumb, Matt Groening, Sergio Aragones, Joost Swarte, Jules Feiffer, Art Speigelman, and more. The collection moves us from the pages of "Puck" to a story from the Harvey horrors, and many stops in between. Craig You and Fantagraphics again demonstrate their bold publishing outlook. Comics are never "just one thing".

An astonishing collection, full of unexpected gems you won't find anywhere else. Worth the cover price for the Milt Gross material alone.
