PW Releases Best Books Of Year List



Publisher's Weekly has published the first major Best-Of list, which I can't imagine really needed to come out a full two months before the year ended, but still, there it is.

* Achewood: The Great Outdoor Fight, Chris Onstad (Dark Horse)
* Alan's War, Emmanuel Guibert (First Second)
* Aya of Yop City, Marguerite Abouet and Clement Oubrerie (Drawn & Quarterly)
* Bottomless Belly Button, Dash Shaw (Fantagraphics)
* Kramers Ergot 7, Edited by Sammy Harkham (Buenaventura Press)
* Slam Dunk, Takehiko Inoue (Viz)
* Skim, Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki (Groundwood Books)
* Tamara Drewe, Posy Simmonds (Houghton/Mariner)
* The Education of Hopey Glass, Jaime Hernandez (Fantagraphics)
* Travel, Yuichi Yokoyama (Picturebox)
* Treasury of XXth Century Murder: The Lindbergh Child, Rick Geary (ComicsLit)
* What It Is, Lynda Barry (Drawn & Quarterly)

It's a respectable list. I was sad to see my current #1 didn't make the cut. I still have quite a bit of reading to do and even more thinking after I'm done reading before I'll be able to make something similar.

David Hajdu's The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America made their non-fiction list and two Toon efforts, Art Spiegelman's Jack and the Box and Agnes Rosenstiehl's Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons, made the children's picture book category.
