An anthology of contemporary art comics, along with some comic strips and other historical material that have retained a 'modern' sensibility. The selections are arranged by genre, and grouped thematically. It is of interest to collectors, aficionados, and readers of comics.

A perfect book for a neophyte."-Chris Mautner, The Patriot-News -- Chris Mautner The Patriot-News "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 -- USA Today Whitney Matheson
