McSweeney's Comics issue, G.O.A.T. & Frank Miller

If you're not familiar with McSweeney's, do yourself a favor and check it out. That Dave Eggers is a publishing dynamo. Authors like Jonathan Lethem & Nick Hornby have work through McSweeney's. Eggers started a magazine too called The Believer. Interviews with cool folks like Terry Gilliam. But the coolest thing is the McSweeney's Quarterly. They did an issue on comics that you have to own. It's probably the most beautiful book published in the last ten years, with the possible exception of the $3,000 Muhammad Ali book, G.O.A.T.. If you have the means, I highly suggest picking one up. But seriously, you can probably find the Mcsweeney's comics issue (#13) at Borders. I see it there pretty regularly. Probably on the McSweeney's site too.

I've also been reading the Frank Miller Dark Knight books. They're amazing.

If you like Miller, you should check out "Ronin" and "Elektra: Lives Again" both are great.
