Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-06 00:00:00 Laurie Fiegleman an annotated guide to comics through 1995 I really wish the author would put out an updated version of this - the amount of good graphic novels has soared since 1995. I still ended up putting seven graphic novels on my TBR after reading this so it's a win (The Upturned Stone, Barefoot Gen, Arkham Asylum, Black Orchid, Scarlet in Gaslight, Stinz: Horsebrush and Other Tales, and Dread).
