Summary:

Raw, Boiled, and Cooked: Comics on the Verge highlights the show of the same name that took place at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. Inspired by Art Spiegelman's (Maus) groundbreaking comics anthology Raw, with all the artist's either former contributors or fans, the art here runs the gamut from surprising to shocking to surreally beautiful. Captured in full-color reproductions, this book showcases some of the most important comics being created today.
