Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Best American Comics showcases the work of both established and up-and-coming contributors. Editor Neil Gaiman--one of the top writers in modern comics and the award-winning author of novels and children's books -- has culled the best stories from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, mini-comics, and the Internet to create this cutting-edge collection. With entries from luminaries such as Tim Hensley, Michael Kupperman, and Dash Shaw, "it's hard to flip through this book without finding a lot worth reading (and rereading)" ( The Onion, A.V. Club ).
