Found some of the pages in here to be lesser works of those whom I consider the greatest artists. Exceptions would be the C.F. and Connor Willumsen...both incredible.
Excellent iteration of the long-running anthology series that does exactly what an anthology should do - surprise and delight at each turn. Obviously I loved some stories more than others, but that's the point - and the quality was consistently high, whatever my taste in the stories. The oversized format was fun to read, and the colors were gorgeous - a beautiful combo.
A pretty decent collection. There weren't any pages I didn't like. My favorite two were by Dash Shaw and John Pham. Oh, well, Werewolf Jones' bit had me cracking up. Top favorite to Simon Hanselmann.
It is not entirely fair to rate an anthology of comic book material this diverse, and as with many such samplers, the quality varies widely. As I expected, more innovation and creativity goes into the visuals of these tales than in the underlying stories (and some pieces are altogether abstract). This is fine in this medium and format, and can be credited in a large part to each piece's brevity.Overall, Kramers Ergot 10 is worth reading---I enjoyed most of the material to some degree, and three
This is a fantastic collection of stories! It reads better than America's Best Comics. There's a ton of amazing creators including a whole bunch I've never read before. I didn't love the large, floppy format. It made it a bit hard to read.
Another strong showing by Sammy Harkham's Kramers Ergot. Lots of top-notch cartoonists allowed to flex in an oversized format. My personal favorite was by a cartoonist who somehow has flown below my radar until now (Connor Williumsen). It's one of those comics that keeps you intrigued with a seemingly straightforward plot that ends with the reader not quite knowing what the hell happened.
I'm typically not into comic anthologies and almost never buy them, but after quite a few people I know recommended this one to me (and now finally owning a coffee table big enough to display such large book) I couldn't resist, and I'm glad I bought it. As far as anthologies go, this one is incredibly even in quality, and even has a somewhat cohesive tone overall. While there is an enormous amount of variation on display in this book, these stories seem very meticulously curated and often lean t...
Picked this up from the library on a lark, was stunned that every page a beauty. Even Johnny Ryan's.
Kramers Ergot continues its semi-regular anthology series with work by established and lesser-known cartoonists, including a few old underground treasures and a Gasoline Alley strip. The standouts in this impressive collection are Anna Haifisch’s “The Hall of the Bright Carvings,” Sammy Harkham’s “Blood of the Virgins” (Harkham also edits the Kramers anthologies), and a handful of Shary Flenniken’s incredible and still-uncollected “Trots and Bonnie” strips.
Sammy Harkham's short story about an early days Hollywood feud alone makes it worth it. There are a couple other stories (most notably the one by C.F.) that are very welcomed, and there are others that simply don't amount to anything but increase the page count (Johnny Ryan).Overall you can see the effort put into it, which makes it all the more sad to find the same names repeating over and over in Kramer's Ergot and in every other "comics" anthology put forward in the last fifteen years or so.....
a lot of cool artists but a lot of loose endsmy favourite stories were connor willumsen's, anouk ricard's and sammy harkham's
