The Ganzfeld

The Ganzfeld, a short-lived but influential anthology series published by Gingko Press and later Picturebox from 2004 to 2006, united a striking roster of avant-garde cartoonists and artists across just two oversized issues. Each volume blended experimental comics, illustration, and writing, showcasing the boundary-pushing work of figures like Ben Katchor, Chris Ware, and Art Spiegelman alongside emerging talents. Its emphasis on formal innovation and high-quality production made it a touchstone for the early-2000s alternative comics scene, capturing a moment when the medium was expanding its artistic ambitions.
