Contemporary Poets
A list of, what the author, Stephen Weiner, feels are the 101 best graphic novels ever. There are many I agreed with, but also several I took issue with.
Some greats are left out ( Persepolis, Barefoot Gen, etc.), and some choices I don't understand at all ( Simpsons Comic a Go-Go??). Pogo and Calvin & Hobbes are great, but I've never seen them defined as graphic novels.
What really wrecks the book for me is, actually, just one tiny thing. In the description of Maus he describes book 1 as being about life in Jewish concentration camps, book 2 being about building a life in America after the war. That is just totally wrong - book 1 is about life before the Holocaust, book 2 is about life in the concentration camp, with segments of both book dealing with life in America after the war. I don't want to slam a guy for one mistake, but, I must! MausThe Complete Maus is one of the most renowned graphic novels ever, a favorite of myself and many other readers, and the blurb Stephen Weiner gives suggests that he, at best, skimmed it. Baffling and extremely disappointing.
