☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume in the series continues Ivan Brunetti's curated survey of alternative comics, gathering a wide range of graphic short stories, cartoons, and autobiographical works from both established and emerging artists. The collection spans diverse styles and eras, featuring contributions from figures such as Robert Crumb, Chris Ware, and Lynda Barry, alongside lesser-known creators, all selected to showcase the breadth of the medium as a literary and artistic form.
"Napoleon!" is a strikingly drawn, deeply personal portrait of blues pioneer Charley Patton, rendered in the unmistakable style of Robert Crumb. This poignant biography traces Patton’s journey from his early days in the Delta to his rise as a seminal figure in the blues, all told with Crumb’s signature blend of raw detail and emotional honesty. The cover, a stark and evocative piece by William Steig, sets the tone for a story that’s as much about myth and memory as it is about music.
