Best American Comics 2011

 

An annual anthology of the best comics in North America, Best American Comics fits quite comfortably in the D+Q store. It finds a place on a display shelf and says hello to all his new book friends in the vicinity. He goes over and chats with his book buddies who have contributions in him (which is to say, in Best American Comics). They chat a while, have some wine, get tipsy, and then spill alcohol on themselves and ruin all the books! Great! Thanks guys!

This year, Best American Comics 2011, edited by Alison Bechdel, has contributions from well-established artists, up and comers and everyone in between. Some D+Q contributors include Gabrielle Bell, Chris Ware, Jillian Tamaki (who also did the cover!), Kevin Huizenga, and brand new D+Qer Kate Beaton.

In addition to the Best American Comics 2011, we also have a bunch of other new releases from the Best American series: The Best American Noir of the Century edited by James Ellroy and Otto Penzler, The Best American Nonrequired Reading edited by Dave  Eggers and with an introduction by Guillermo del Toro, The Best American Short Stories edited by Geraldine Brooks, and The Best American Essays edited by Edwidge Danticat.

Check them out, they're the best! (I don't think I'm overemphasizing when I say that...)
