Mome

Mome was an ambitious, genre-defying anthology series published by Fantagraphics from 2005 to 2011, running 22 issues that showcased the vanguard of alternative comics. A vital incubator for the next wave of cartoonists, it featured frequent contributions from talents like Andrice Arp, Dash Shaw, and Eleanor Davis, whose work helped define the era's literary and experimental edge. More than just a collection, Mome captured a pivotal moment when the boundaries between comics, fine art, and storytelling blurred, making it an essential document of 21st-century independent comics.
