of the 1980s was such an unexpected hit that it inspired this first of a

charts the evolution of the art of mini comics over four decades of
deliberate cartoon rebellion. This volume will reproduce some of the

names among contemporary comics connoisseurs): Leonard Rifas, Justin

Vojtko, Par Holman & Clark Dissmeyer, Matt Feazell, Matt Howarth,
