Today’s Comics Masterpiece Watch

* Dan Kois writes the first enthusiastic major mainstream press review for David Mazzucchelli's Asterios Polyp.

(18 of you have since written in to remind me of this piece in EW, to which I respond "d'oh")

* Bill Watterson's mid-'90s (I think) essay for one of the Krazy Kat collection is reprinted here. I was hoping when I saw the name it would be Watterson reading something, but I guess not.

* speaking of Watterson, who made his own comics masterpiece with Calvin & Hobbes, the writer Nevin Martell sento word that if you e-mail him through .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) he won't use it to spam you or anything but will send you a chapter from his forthcoming Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip. I can't guarantee this isn't an offer from Satan himself, but it sounds genuine.
