Syncopated:  Volume Three edited by Brendan Burford This attractively produced, squarebound, 104 page, magazine size comics anthology presents a fine batch of all new comics, doodles, sketches and stories (but, mostly, comics) by an interesting bunch of cartoonists.   This volume is easily the best so far in the Syncopated series, and is packed with unique pieces, including:  editor Burford's excellent meditations on time and place that open and close the book, as well as his text piece, "A Tugboat Graveyard," that is illustrated by Gary Gianni of Prince Valiant fame; a recollection of discovery by Dave Kiersh; a sixteen page real life adventure tale by Nick Bertozzi (The Salon) that relates Ernest Shackleton & Co's voyage aboard the James Caird; Greg Cook's "My Dorchester Neighbors" which vividly evokes the horrors borne by soldiers in Iraq; and many more. Be sure to take a look at this one.
