About this Collection

The Best American Comics 2018, edited by Phoebe Gloeckner, continues the annual series' tradition of showcasing standout graphic narratives from the preceding year. This volume collects a diverse range of works from both established and emerging cartoonists, selected for their artistic merit and storytelling innovation. It offers a curated snapshot of the contemporary comics landscape, featuring pieces that originally appeared in various publications and anthologies.

"Ghost Cats (Excerpt)" from The Best American Comics #2018, written and drawn entirely by Jesse Jacobs, follows two high school girls who discover a strange doorway to other realms through their school’s laundry room. When one begins inviting more students through, the boundaries between worlds start to fray in ways no one expected. The story’s surreal, dreamlike tone is matched by Jacobs’ fully self-contained art, lettering, and coloring, all unified in a single, distinct voice. The cover, by Lale Westvind, captures the quiet unease of the moment just before things go off the rails.
