by Dan
Graphica + News / December 14, 2010

Market Day
James Sturm
Drawn & Quarterly ISBN 9781897299975
$23.95

There is something about the stark beauty in this book that just draws you in. A fascinating contemplation on art. This is by far James' strongest work so far, and that is coming from a man that has already done some excellent work.

The Selves
Sonja Ahlers
Drawn & Quarterly ISBN 9781770460102 
$20.95

I love how representational of a certain life and culture Sonja's work is. She plans out a million idea's and arguments in simple image that speaks in volumes.

Wilson
Daniel Clowes
Drawn & Quarterly ISBN 9781770460072
$23.95

Daniel Clowes is one of my favorite cartoonists and this book is no exception to the rule of him being awesome. It's like he dropped a bomb remind the new kids who the real boss is. 

Robin McConnell is the host of the Inkstuds radio show out of Vancouver and the accompanying book of the same name, published this year by Conundrum Press.
