From the Beat:
Crumb’s Genesis. Asterios Polyp. Joe Sacco’s Notes from Gaza. The ALEC collection. 2009 has seen more than its share of graphic novels that change how we look at the medium. But none of those books are a beautiful painted mini series about a kitty and some puppies that fight supernatural menaces. No, that book is BEASTS OF BURDEN by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson. , and WE NEED THIS BOOK.
