On Jacob Covey’s Beasts! Sell-Out

I think this article's confirmation that the Beasts! book curated by Fantagraphics art director is going into an expected second printing is worth noting for a few reasons, including the impression it has made on behalf of curator-designer Jacob Covey and the crossover between established art cartoonists and some of the quirkier, standard illustrators that bolster its line-up. I think the most important, however, is that it's a success with this kind of high-concept art book, and art books have been a major area of interest for the longtime publisher, particularly in the last five years or so.
