Welcome to our Comics & Graphic Novels issue! Among the books reviewed this week: Brian Doherty's Dirty Pictures: How an Underground Network of Nerds, Feminists, Misfits, Geniuses, Bikers, Potheads, Printers, Intellectuals, and Art School Rebels Revolutionized Art and Invented Comix--the subtitle says it all: "an indispensable history" for any fan; and Luke Healy's sharp, skilled The Con Artists, a "wow-inducing example of show-don't-tell genius."
Plus, our feature spotlights more outstanding comics & graphic novels we reviewed in Shelf Awareness earlier this year.
