comics는 아이들이 보는 것이므로 비교적 쉬운 영어를 사용할 것이라는 기대로 영어공부하는 셈치고 책을 구매했다. 하지만 쉬운 영어는 둘째치고 너무나도 재미없는 이야기들이었다. the best american이 어떻게 붙은 수식인지는 모르겠으나 선정 과정에 큰 문제가 있다는 생각을 하지 않을 수 없었다. 그리고 책이 너무 두꺼워서 편하게 읽을 수도 없다. 구매는 물론 비추천이고 빌려서 읽을 수 있더라도 추천하지 않는다. 절대 봐서는 안될 책.
When I started RAW magazine in the ’80s, there were mostly superheroes, a few children’s comics, and the dirty, intentionally lowbrow, underground comix. And now, comics can tackle any topic. ?Francoise Mouly, from the IntroductionFEATURING Charles Burns, Chester Brown, Joyce Farmer, Chris Ware, Gary Panter, Sergio Aragones, Christoph Niemann, Adrian Tomine, Sarah Varon, and others.This year with a sampler of comics for kids!▶미리보기https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=UE_NRyv0m6MC&printsec=frontcover&hl=ko&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false
