1.0

Definitely not my taste in comics at all. Only liked the comics Freaks, Galactic Funnels, and Glenn Ganges in Pulverize. The rest were either a different kind of dark than my preference, or a type of silly humor of which I am not a fan.

They should have Bill Griffiths edit one of this ( maybe this year )

Great collection! Skip the Preface!

This year's collection of the best comics was compiled by Charles Burns and as with editors of past editions his own work looms large over the selections. Similarly, many of Burns' picks are pale imitations of his masterful work. There are some good nuggets here but overall a so-so experience.
