Sweet compilation of odd illustration, drawings, comix

This is a pretty cool, diverse book with a strange focus on Canadian and Japanese experimental comix/illustration. For the price, you are getting a lot to read. I do pick this one up and re-read it occasionally. Broken down into Japan and Canada sections, with a different section for each artist within this. As expected with all Picturebox releases, the book is highly readable with an assortment of amazing artwork that will inspire you to make strange drawings, but keep in mind that straightahead comix are the exception and not the rule in this one. By the way, there is no Ganzfeld 6. They skipped it and have gone straight to 7, the last one to be published. Available only through purchasing it on Picturebox's website.
