Hi Ray Anne. Was told about your post and that it might be appropriate for me to reply here. Come see me/the collection when you get a chance! http://www.carnegielibrary.org/research/news/zines.html Best, Jude Vachon Librarian First Floor New and Featured Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Main 412.622.3119 [log in to unmask] ________________________________________ From: ARLIS/NA List [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Mo Dawley [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, October 25, 2011 4:49 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Zines and Graphic Novels Ray Anne and all, Some of you may be interested in Barefoot Gen: A Cartoon Story of Hiroshima. It's a manga series, based on the life and experiences of the author, Keiji Nakazawa, during and after the bombing of Hiroshima who was a young boy at the time. We have a more recent English series of 10 volumes (2004-2010).

What is it by Lynda Barry Exit Wounds by Rutu Modan Wilson by Daniel Clowes Cecil and Jordan in New York by Gabrielle Bell My New York Diary by Julie Doucet Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud In terms of zines, I would recommend looking to the local artists and creators in your community. The Pittsburgh Zine Fair just passed in September but zine fairs are a great place to find material for your library. You could find some information and contacts on the PZF blog: http://pghzinefair.com/. There is quite a few zine distributors and collectives on the blog. If you contact them, they will be able to recommend a selection relevant to your needs. One particularly special publication based in Pittsburgh is Ker-Bloom!<http://zinewiki.com/Ker-Bloom%21>, a zine made entirely with letterpress techniques (can be purchased on Etsy<http://www.etsy.com/shop/artnoose?section_id=5007309>). I also have a contact at the Pittsburgh Public Library who collects zines. I can send you her info off-list if you are interested.

I know nothing about these publications. I am hoping that some of you can suggest the top five all-time best artists or titles in these genres for me.
