This is a wonderful series that includes stories by a number of noted graphic novelists, including Kazu Kibuishi, Kean Soo, Phil Craven, and Chris Applehans. It's great to see such a wide variety of styles collected in one book. The first volume is fairly slim, and the publisher obviously found a lot to include in the second volume, because it's twice as long. The second volume includes some of the same authors as the first volume, and also stories by Jeff Smith, the author of the Bone series, and Doug Holgate. If you aren't familiar with many graphic novels, this is a good place to start to find out what you like. The artwork is really astounding.
