Go, Read: Rob Kirby’s List

The cartoonist and critic Rob Kirby is widely-read in small press comics in a way that makes his annual list of recommended books and things a must-read even for his peers in the writing-about-comics trade. You should go here and read the full results, and see the list in the context intended book to book, but let's look at them list-wise here just to give you a taste of the range of works mentioned.
