Read more and comment...	edited by Charles Burns Well, Crumb is a tough act to follow, but we'll give it a shot with this star-studded anthology filled with the best and the brightest from the last twelve months of comics, as judged by Charles Burns. In a book like this, we feel that the contributor list says it best: Doug Allen, Peter Bagge, Gabrielle Bell, Matt Broersma, Daniel Clowes, Al Columbia, Robert Dennis Crumb, Sammy Harkham, Tim Hensley, Gilbert Hernandez, Kevin Huizenga, Ben Katchor, Kaz, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Michael Kupperman, Jason Lutes, Tony Millionaire, Jerry Moriarty, Anders Nilsen, Gary Panter, Laura Park, Mimi Pond, Ron Regé, David Sandlin, Koren Shadmi, Dash Shaw, Art Spiegelman, Ted Stearn, Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki, Adrian Tomine, Chris Ware, Dan Zettwoch. 'Nuff said. Well, actually, we can't help but add that while the material contained in this anthology is absolutely fabulous, the quality of its reproduction is, mysteriously, not up to the same standard as the three previous volumes in this series, which were excellent in that department. This shouldn't stop anyone from picking up this fine volume, but it is worrisome. Let's hope that this was a one time aberration and that next year we'll find the fine folks at Houghton Mifflin have figured out what went wrong and put things in the production department back on track.
The Art of Tony Millionaire	Tony Millionaire	Dark Horse		$34.95 ($39.95 list)
Read more and comment...	It's here, Tony Millionaire's coffee-table moment – but, professional drinker and rabble rouser that Mr. Millionaire is, it might be a tad risky to put the fine china next to this volume, as the spirit inhabiting it is liable to bubble forth and wreak havoc. It is a volume that is likely to feel more at home next to a bottle of spirits, whether it's at the corner tavern or the basement bar. Included along with page after page of Mr. Millionaire's classic-illustration-era, fine pen and ink stylings are many heretofore unknown and unseen bits and pieces of his life and times and antics: newspaper clippings, embarrasing photos, confessions of vicious boozing and more! Long time fans will find much to induldge in.
Der Struwwelmaakies	Tony Millionaire		Maakies	$16.95 ($19.95 list)
Read more and comment...	The fourth Maakies volume -- the third in the elongated horizontal hardcover format -- collects the latest pen and ink high seas hi-jinx of Drinky Crow and Co.
Billy Hazelnuts	Tony Millionaire			$16.95 ($19.95 list)
Read more and comment...	This brand new 110-page hardcover graphic novel from the creator of Maakies and Sock Monkey features a new cast of characters in the classic Victorian era settings that Millionaire is famous for. Classic pen and ink rendering, rip-roaring adventure yarns, naval navigations that end up on Saturn... what more do you want?
Premillennial Maakies	Tony Millionaire			$21.25 ($24.95 list)
Read more and comment...	This volume presents the long out of print original classic Maakies strips for the first time in a hardcover, full-size, horizontal-format version that matches those editions that his later work has appeared in; with one, important distinction: this one is a massive 264 page monster of a book that will peel back your eyeballs and sear your brain. You have been warned.
Maakies with the Wrinkled Knees	Tony Millionaire	Fantagraphics		$17.77 ($19.95 list)
Read more and comment...	Yes, it's time for another hardcover, super-horizontal, hardback collection of the incredible pen & ink stylings of the comics champion of alcoholic antics, nautical naughtiness and pellucid peccadillos. It's never too late to throw caution to the wind and jump right in.

Private Stash: A Pin-Up Girl Portfolio by 20 Cartoonists	Adrian Tomine, Charles Burns, Daniel Clowes, Gilbert Hernandez and more ...	Buenaventura Press		$22.00 ($24.95 list)
Read more and comment...	This one is an attempt to be the last word in fetish object. Playing on the trope of arrested adolescent sexuality stereotypically identified with the bagging-and-boarding fanboy set of which more than a few of these participants are graduates, Private Stash starts out with a squarebound translucent case that contains -- once you've struggled to remove it from this secure enclosure without damaging it -- a clever two-layer illustrated wraparound slipcase portrait of all twenty contributors by Rick Altergott (displaying his Mort Drucker and Wally Wood chops to full effect) which opens to reveal a 20 panel accordian-print that opens (to over ten feet!) to reveal the wet-dream girls of a fairly astounding array of talent: R. Crumb, Dan Clowes, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, Charles Burns, Gary Panter, Peter Bagge, Adrian Tomine, Kim Deitch, Tony Millionaire, Richard Sala, Ivan Brunetti, Ron Regé,Jr., Dan Zettwoch, Rick Altergott, Jonathan Bennett, Sammy Harkham, Tim Hensley, Mitch O'Connell and Archer Prewitt (It's too bad they couldn't get Chris Ware on board with this one, but then again, his fantasy might be too much for the rest of us to handle...).
