The Best Book of the Year, for my money, was Kirk Anderson’s Banana Republic, which we reviewed at length in The Comics Journal #299. Observing Anderson’s bold and tapering line — a line supple as liquid sheen, not to mention the crispness of his stylistic mannerisms, the inherent drama of their composition and the superlative comedic timing of the breakdowns — his wit, his graphic genius, his satirical savagery, I laughed the silvery laughter of pure, unadulterated pleasure at beholding the symphonic intricacies of his work, its visual distinction yoked to an intelligent assault on the issues of the day, a ramble engaging both eye and mind — cartooning at its most sublime.
