COMICS JOURNAL #288

New format! New Design! In this special "Year in Review" issue, the most critically-acclaimed cartoonists of the year talk about their work and suss out the "Best Comics of 2007" from a crowd of contenders; a crowd that includes the likes of Bryan Talbot, Grant Morrison, Adrian Tomine, Brian K. Vaughan, John Porcellino, Nick Bertozzi, Paul Karasik, Naoki Urasawa, Chris Ware, Gilbert Hernandez, Elvis Studio and Tony Millionaire! Plus - á la the Cannes Film Festival - last year's top creators give us their picks for this year's best comics. Alison Bechdel's literary graphic memoir Fun Home carried top honors for 2006 among Journal contributors, and who will earn that distinction in 2007? This issue also presents strips from the glamorous, panther-skin-suited debutante Miss Fury - the first super heroine created by a female cartoonist, Tarpe Mills, back in 1941. Noted comics historian Trina Robbins will provide an introduction detailing the fascinating facts of Mills' life.
