Midway on the evolution of comics journalism from R. Crumb to Joe Sacco is the work of David Collier.  Just the Facts is his first collection, originally published way back in 1998, collecting work Collier originally produced from 1986 through that year that appeared in publications like Zero Zero, Drawn & Quarterly Magazine, The Comics Journal and others.  Cover to cover classics of the form.

"You sir, have a gift, a genius, shall we say, for a cdertain esoteric level of dry, existential humor... and you get better at it as you mature."  – R. Crumb (from a letter to Collier on Christams Day 1990)

"I'm grateful that a collection of Collier's stuff is finally being published – his wildlly unpredictable range of interests always makes fertile groud for a rich crop of real art.  An obsessive observer who makes me fascinated by things I never thought I would be.  I feel like a nancy-boy faker when I read Collier." – Chris Ware.
