Kramers Ergot 6 by Sammy Harkham
Kramers Ergot is the vanguard of comic book anthologies. Not only is it
beautifully designed, but houses a toothsome mix of up and comers, established
underground artists and archival oddities. Highlights in Volume 6 include Gary
Panter, Chris Cilla, Marc Bell and Suiho Tagawa to name a few. No graphica
library is complete without every sumptuous volume.
This Will All End in Tears by Joe Ollmann
The title of the collection of graphica shorts really says it all. Each
story is filled with darkness and heartbreak, yet it somehow never dives into
the realm of mawkishness. We hear the bitter inner voice of an overweight woman
in "Big Boned", a young catholic girl in a small town slowly loses her faith in
"They Filmed a Movie Here Once" and an awkward intellectual type suffering a
mid-life crisis buys a rifle, shoots a deer and can't live down the horror.
Ollmann is truly talented in the short story medium.
