About The Best American Comics:
Now in its fourth year, Best American Comics showcases the work of both established and up-and-coming contributors. Editor Charles Burns—cartoonist, illustrator, and official cover artist of The Believer—has culled the best stories from graphic novels, pamphlet comics, newspapers, magazines, mini-comics, and the web to create this cutting-edge collection that the Houston Chronicle has already called "a genuine salute to comics."

About the Editors:
Jessica Abel is the author of the graphic novel La Perdida (Pantheon, 2006)as well as two collections of stories and drawings from her series Artbabe. Matt Madden is a cartoonist and the author of 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style (Chamberlain Bros., 2005). Together, they are the authors of Drawing Words & Writing Pictures (First Second, 2009).
