On Twitter, Tamaki encouraged artists to submit their work for the anthology, pointing out that comics are being published in so many venues now that there’s a risk that some will be missed.
Best American Comics is an annual series that has both a series editor (Bill Kartalopoulos) and a guest editor. The series editor chooses a longlist of comics, and the guest editor makes the final selections. The editor of last year’s volume was Phoebe Gloeckner, author of A Child’s Life and Other Stories.
