The third in The Comics Journal's series of oversized coffe-table volumes, this lush collection of art, comics and commentary kicks off with a gigantic, career-spanning interview with legendary illustrator (and cover artist) William Stout, complete with copious illustrations and paintings. There's also an extensive appreciation of the cartoon work of noted humorist James Thurber (including a gallery of Thurber cartoons and a four-page comics tribute by Ivan Brunetti),
Paul Gravett's remembrance of the seminal British indy-comix magazine Escape
(complete with new strips drawn just for this volume by many of that magazine's noted cartoonists), critical appreciations of numerous fine cartoonists (Lynda Barry, Tom Hart, Michael Kaluta, and more) by the cream of our best critics — and, as if that weren't enough, a 70-page comics section on the theme of "patriotism," with contributions by Joe Sacco, Phoebe Gloeckner, Bill Griffith, Megan Kelso, Peter Bledvag,
Carol Swain, Gilbert Shelton, Penny Van Horn, Ho Che Anderson and many,
many more!

The Comics Journal : Winter Special, 2003
Brilliant and truly painful. You won't see this kind of graphic art in many places, and Gilbert was slammed for her "non-artistic" drawing early on. But every skewed aspect is perfectly placed.
it tells the tale of an underground, wretched life that doesn't hold back on any level. She is beyond honest in her verbal and graphic depiction of herself, seen graphically in some episodes as a rat-headed degenerate, in others as a largely willing victim of anything the world could throw at her.
But go to the back of the book, in the interview and comments section (with photo), and you find that she's a beautiful, innocent-looking escapee from reality. What to make of that? It doesn't matter, really. This is a work of intense, stunning honesty.
