New York Magazine’s Best GNs Of 2009



Dan Kois of New York, a magazine that has provided several previews of prominent graphic novels as part of their coverage over the last several months, has named his best of 2008:

* Disappearance Diary, Hideo Azuma (Fanfare/Ponent Mon)
* Bottomless Belly Button, Dash Shaw (Fantagraphics)
* Nat Turner, Kyle Baker (Abrams)
* Slow Storm, Danica Novgorodoff (First Second)
* Strange Embrace, David Hine (Image)
* Wonton Soup, James Stokoe (Oni)
* Travel, Yuichi Yokoyama (PictureBox)
* Metronome, Veronique Tanaka (NBM)
* Fables: The Good Prince, Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham (Vertigo)
* Paul Goes Fishing, Michel Rabagliatti (Drawn & Quarterly)
* The Country Nurse, Jeff Lemire (Top Shelf)
* Water Baby, Ross Campbell (Minx)

Since Kois' pleasantly idiosyncratic list is presented as a Top Ten, Travel and Metronome are combined into one entry and Paul Goes Fishing and The Country Nurse are combined into another. Also, I think that may be a numbered list, so I've maintained that order here the I can given I'm splitting the combined entries. You should really click through the link and see the handsome slide show.
