Volume 1 - 1st printing. Edited by Peter Buchanan Smith. The Ganzfeld is an annual book devoted to comics, illustration, and design by the world's leading graphic artists. Edited and designed by former New York Times art director Peter Buchanan Smith and illustration/design writer Dan Nadel, The Ganzfeld incorporates varied texts and design elements in a humorous, self-referential style that the kids today love so much. Volume One concerns itself with Utopia, the struggle of adulthood, and includes a fascinating history of comics by Paul Karasik. Plus a perfectly un-ironic essay about Irony and mesmerizing comics by Patrick Smith. See what all the critical buzz is all about. This is the first time Fantagraphics has offered this volume! Softcover, 8-in. x 9 1/2-in., 152 pages, PC/PB&W. NOTE: Published by Fantagraphics Cover price $10.95.
