The first thing I looked for was Blankets. I thinik it should be higher, but at least it's on the list.

 

FYI THe previous issue of Wizard listed the 25 best Indie books of all time. Below. Alphabetical order not quality.

 

 

1. Acme Novelty Library by Chris Ware

2. American Splendor by Harvey Pekar

3. Black Hole by Charles Burns

4. Blankets by Craig Thompson

5. The Blot by Tom Neely

6. Bone by Jeff Smith

7. Bottomless Belly Button by Dash Shaw

8. Box Office Poison by Alex Robinson

9. Curses by Kevin Huizenga

10. Eightball by Dan Clowes

11. Epileptic by David B.

12. The Essex County Trilogy by Jeff Lemire

13. Frank by Jim Woodring

14. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel

15. Grickle by Graham Annable

16. It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken by Seth

17. Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Velasquez

18. Love and Rockets by The Hernandez Bros.

19. Maus by Art Spiegelman

20. Optic Nerve by Adrian Tomine

21. Palestine by Joe Sacco

22. Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

23. Pop Gun War by Farel Dalrymple

24. Pistolwhip by Jason Hall and Matt Kindt

25. The Sketchbook Diaries by James Kochalka

 

 

Top 3 books being Underground genre (as well as #10, 13 and 19), but Maus being towards the bottom seems odd to me as it's the only one to win a Pulitzer (though Persepolis won a bunch of awards also). Is Maus just part one or is it considered for both parts 1 and 2?
