It's been a while, but this 2-volume set
from Fantagraphics was one of the coolest things
ever published! (And of course, the true sign of
greatness in comics is that the content has staying power
and a long shelf life! These volumes pass that test.)
It was one of the rare times that the works
of a multitude of different companies
(featuring the coolest, most original
Indy work of the time) were collected
in one place.
