		<title>Peter Bagge, as in plastic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The pronunciation of cartoonist Peter Bagge&#8216;s last name is ironic, since he somehow manages to make his characters on the paper page look as though they were made of plastic. Bagge has brought his malleable style to a variety of genres, from superhero to comedy to social commentary, often combining one or more elements. In [...]]]></description>

		<title>One man&#8217;s mission to recover early comic art gems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the recent increase in comics scholarship, comics anthologies have experienced a resurgence. Yale University Press&#8217;s 2-volume An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories is a great introduction to alternative cartoonists after about the mid-1950s. However, even those early pieces show only half the lineage of Western comics, leaving out the experimentalism of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unlike many alternative comic artists, Chris Ware&#8217;s name has found its way into the mainstream media time and time again. This is largely attributable to his 2000 graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth, which collected work done between 1995 and 2000.
