2006 marked the entry of Comics into the perennial Houghton Mifflin Best American Series™. As much as we enjoyed that initial, Harvey Pekar edited volume, we have to say that it is surpassed by this year's jam-packed edition. From Lynda Barry to Dan Zettwoch and everything inbetween, this volume provides us with a a fabulous selection of excellent comics in an attractive well produced package at an affordable price. While -- as Chris Ware makes eminently clear in his excellent introduction -- it is certainly hard to make any sort of definitive argument that these are "the best" American comics of 2007, we are quite confident that no Copacetic customer will be disappointed with the 340 pages of comics herein assembled. It is true that some may find that they already own much of what appears here, but few if any will have read it all and most will discover exciting new work and be introduced to talented comics creators.Check out the amazing contributor list, below:
