In Comics:
The Best of 2009
Herewith, a quick jotting of some of the best graphic novels that hit the shelves in 2009:
- Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli
- Stitches by David Small
- Footnotes in Gaza by Joe Sacco
- Waltz with Bashir: A Lebanon War Story by Ari Folman
- You Are There by Jacques Tardi and Jean-Claude Forest
- Humbug by Harvey Kurtzman, et al
- Veeps: Profiles in Insignificance by Bill Kelter and Wayne Shellabarger
- Low Moon by Jason
- Fables Vol. 1 (Deluxe Edition) by Bill Willingham
- The Beats ed. by Paul Buhle
My votes were part of the annual PW Comics Week Critic’s Poll, the results of which were published here — and Asterios Polyp won handily.
