Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"This is the world of comics . . . at its liveliest."-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * Kirkus Reviews * "An engaging, provocative, and valuable survey."-Booklist * Booklist * "One of the most stunning-and smartly assembled-anthologies I've ever seen."-Eric Reynolds, FLOG! The Fantagraphics Blog -- Eric Reynolds * FLOG! The Fantagraphics Blog * "Deeply engaged, personal, and unbelievably gorgeous. . . . The best anthology of its kind."-Jared Gardner, Gutter Geek -- Jared Gardner * Gutter Geek * "Invaluable [and] idiosyncratic . . . Brunetti includes under-the-radar surprises . . . and draws consistently fascinating connections between pieces."-Cliff Froehlich, St. Louis Post-Dispatch -- Cliff Foehlich * St. Louis Post-Dispatch * "Brunetti has a genius for sequencing. . . . Like almost any good comic, these anthologies flow."-Richard Gehr, The Village Voice (online) -- Richard Gehr * The Village Voice (online) * "Another far-reaching set of comics that range from the 1920s to 2008. As with the first book, the genius of this second Anthology is in its organization, which groups pieces not by year or subject, but by association. . . . A."-Onion A.V. Club * Onion A.V. Club * "Good grief, what a book this is-a hyperactive, periodically insane dive into the archaeology of alternative comics, the sort of book you long to present to people with no interest in the medium and watch as it removes the top of their heads and gives their brains a good stir. . . . Each page has something new, upsetting, wonderful on it, which makes it, along with the equally gigantic vol. 1, pretty much unbeatable."-Independent on Sunday * Independent on Sunday * "If the Daniel Clowes cover intrigues you, and you want to a good introduction to the odder and more idiosyncratic side of comics today, there are few guides more knowledgeable than Brunetti, and few books more useful than his Anthologies."-Andrew Wheeler, ComicMix -- Andrew Wheeler * ComicMix * "Good grief, what a book this is-a hyperactive, periodically insane dive into the archaeology of alternative comics, the sort of book you long to present to people with no interest in the medium and watch as it removes the top of their heads and gives their brains a good stir."-Independent on Sunday * Independent on Sunday * "I urge you to check out An Anthology of Graphic Fiction & True Stories (both volumes), edited by Brunetti and published by Yale University Press. They're certainly two of the best anthologies I've seen in recent years."-Whitney Matheson, USA Today "Pop Candy" blog -- Whitney Matheson, * USA Today * Read more...
