| Kramer's Ergot has established itself as the center of the comics avant-garde, and the mammoth fifth volume is the most impressive to date—a full-on plunge into the spot where contemporary visual art discovers narrative.” Kramer's Ergot 5 successfully places the contemporary comics movement in proper perspective within the context of modern art, literature, and graphic design. It documents an exciting and unprecedented period of upheaval and growth unseen since the arrival of ZAP comics in the late sixties. Features internationally revered and applauded artists working in the medium side by side with the new generation’s best cartoonists. Features works by Chris Ware, Dan Zettwoch, Fabio, Helge Ruemann, Jordan Crane, Marc Bell, Gabrielle Bell, Gary Panter, Leif Goldberg, Souther Salazar, and Ron Rege Jr. to name just a few. |
