Kramers Ergot

A sprawling, oversized anthology series revived by PictureBox in 2012, Kramers Ergot is a landmark showcase for avant-garde and alternative cartoonists. Its single, monumental issue—the tenth in the series' long history—gathered a who's-who of contemporary comics talent, including Chris Ware, Dan Clowes, and Art Spiegelman, in a tabloid-sized format that emphasizes the visual power of the page. More than a collection, it serves as a vital document of the medium's artistic ambition and its continued evolution into the 21st century.
