"Kramer's Ergot" has established itself as the centre of the comic avante-garde, and the mammoth 6th volume is the most impressive to date - a full-on plunge into the spot where contemporary visual art discovers narrative. "Kramer's Ergot 6" successfully places the contemporary comics movement in proper perspective within the context of modern art, literature and graphic design. Celebrated as 'the Raw of our times,' this fantastic book documents an exciting and unprecedented period of upheaval and growth and features internationally revered and applauded artists working in the medium side by side with the new generation's best cartoonists. Edited by Sammy Harkham, "Kramer's Ergot 6" features art by 24 contributors including Elvis Studio, Ron Rege Jr., Ben Jones, Jerry Moriarty, Tom Gauld, John Porcellino, Vanessa Davis, Chris Cilla, Shary Boyle, Suiho Tagawa, Fabio Viscogliosi and many others.
