Jules Feiffer, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware and the late Al Hirshfeld, four of the greatest cartoonists of the 20th Century, come together to reflect upon the rich well of their collective 200+ years of experience as artists in a series of once-in-a-lifetime conversations and interviews. Plus R. Fiore on The Simpsons, an unpublished Jack Davis comic strip, and features on Feininger, Gloeckner, Katchor, and Mauldin. As if that weren't enough, this volume includes another "Cartoonists On" section, boasting of comics-form essays, short stories and vignettes on "The Shock of Recognition" from today's finest cartoonists, including the likes of Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, Phoebe Gloeckner, and Bill Griffith, as well as new work from European and Japanese comics greats.

"I wish there was a similar source of news and criticism about the music industry; all we have are corporate shills, every single magazine... All media should be so lucky [as comics]." – Dave Marsh
