I'd also really like to vote for the new edition of Kurtzman's Jungle Book, but so far it has not been listed at GR.

And also - why am I only the second voter on this list? It would be really interesting to see what YOU consider "ART" in the context of contemporary comics! And if you have issues with the very concept of art - even better, so do I:)

Challenge accepted! :-)

Excellent!:)

Great list, Jan, I like seeing which ones you picked as favorites, and I have a strange obsession with applying an hierarchy of numbered coolness to the fine arts. 'Yes, a comic is art, fine.'

Angry Youth Comix collection, Witzend, Here, et al -- great choices!

That happens all the time for me, so I create the listing myself. I had to create the Killoffer 'Tel qu'en lui-meme enfin' listing, the last Beksinski and Ali Banisadr listing, etc., etc. I should get paid for doing the publisher's work for them. ;-) [No, not really]

I found Kurtzman's Jungle Book from Dark Horse and added it to my list if you want to vote for it; I'll then remove my vote, simply because I haven't read it yet. I'm sure it's great, I've read excerpts in other Kurtzman collections and the Abrams art-book.

Haha, I also have an obsession with lists, it's crazy but very enjoyable:)
