Best American Comics Writing of the 21st Century , edited by NewYork Times , Vanity Fair , and Bookforum critic Ben Schwartz, is the first-ever attempt to collate the very best criticism of the contemporarygraphic novel boom in a way that contextualizes and codifies one of the mostimportant literary movements of the last 60 years. Via its various authors -John Updike, Daniel Clowes, Jonathan Lethem, Chris Ware, Frank Miller, WillEisner, David Hadju, Douglas Wolk, and more - the book also functions as avaluable readers' guide for fans, academics, and librarians, tracing the currentcomics renaissance from its beginnings and creative growth to today's bestsellerappeal, and where it's headed. Best American Comics Writing of the21st Century also features a cover by nationally known satiristDrew Friedman ( The New York Observer, Old Jewish Comedians )spotlighting "The Comic Book Critics of America" in a tongue-in-cheek takeon a formerly low medium increasingly held in high regard.
