This morning I received the Fall 2010 Library of America<\/a> catalog. LOA consistently produces the highest quality reprints of classic American works and I proudly own several of their volumes including Philip K. Dick: Four Novels of the 1960s<\/span><\/a>, Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1930s and 40s<\/span><\/a>, Crime Novels: American Noir of the 1950s<\/span><\/a>, Dashiell Hammett: Crime Stories &amp; Other Writings<\/span><\/a>, Raymond Chandler: Stories &amp; Early Novels<\/span><\/a>, Raymond Chandler: Later Novels &amp; Other Writings<\/span><\/a>, Zuckerman Bound: A Trilogy &amp; Epilogue 1979\u20131985<\/span><\/a> by Philip Roth, and Baseball: A Literary Anthology<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nAs a pop culture\/comics historian and critic, I was thrilled with the new book that adorns the catalog cover. Lynd Ward: Six Novels in Woodcuts<\/span><\/a> collects the prominent works of this extraordinary creator. Ward pioneered the graphic novel with his wordless "novels in woodcuts." This should be on not only my shelf but any lover of comics as well.<\/p>\n
