The Best American Comics (First Edition, Signed by Harvey Pekar and others).
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2006. First Edition. First Edition, first printing. Fine in illustrated paper-covered boards, blue cloth quarter-binding with gilt design and lettering.

Illustrated in black-and-white and color throughout, and interestingly, has a "contributor's notes" section at the rear, where each artist goes into some detail about the respective piece. Laid in is a publisher's full-color promotional card for this title. From Publisher's Weekly: The idea of Houghton Mifflin's distinguished Best American series turning to the comics would once have seemed unlikely, but the powerful narratives in this collection prove why it's a good idea. Editors Pekar (American Splendor) and Moore (Punk Planet magazine) concentrate on the graphic equivalents of literary fiction and essays, and the best results are haunting. The contents range from the fantastic (Rebecca Dart's "Rabbithead," which channels Topo Gigio and Clint Eastwood) through fiction (an excerpt from Alex Robinson's graphic novel Tricked) to serious non-fiction (Joe Sacco's account of a Marine unit in Haditha). The longer chunks of story tend to be the most effective, like Justin Hall's "La Rubia Loca," an engrossing story about a bunch of hippie slackers stuck on a bus tour through Mexico with a crazy woman. Although there are strong offerings from established comics greats like Crumb, Jaime Hernandez and Lynda Barry, the editors also showcase newcomers like Jesse Reklaw (his touching "13 Cats" is the story of a fractured childhood told through the author's attachment to a series of doomed kittens.
