    Nonpareil Sampler of the best comics of 2016
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016*

Roz Chast, one of the tenured practitioners of cartoon art, selected the 23 examples that comprise the 2016 “Best of American Comics.” And what a splendid selection it is. As Ms. Chast writes in her introduction, “We live in a golden age of comics. Not in the traditional newspaper sense, but often as graphic novels and memoirs…”This year’s book includes the work of the well-established -- Chris Ware, Joe Sacco, Lynda Barry and Ben Katchor --  some newcomers, Liana Finck and Taylor- Ruth Baldwin. The artists are mainly from the U.S. but there are several Canadian works as well; Genevieve Elverym’s  wonderful and colorful piece, “Blanket Portraits” for example.The covers and end papers add to the pleasure. The foreword by series editor Bill Kartalopoulos explains the growth of the field from its newspaper comic strip days to the subculture of the specialty comic book market place; from superhero and other genre comics, to“alternative” comics and to the graphic novel (MAUS and JIMMY CORRIGAN – the SMARTEST Kid on EARTH.)End note: There’s probably no other place where the fan of today’s comics may, in one or two sittings, sample so much of the comic world work being done today. It was certainly an eye opener for me. So, if you want to be in the know, this is the book to hunt down and study.
