I used to be extremely well informed on the UK small press scene, but sadly no longer.

Yes, like any other of these items, this could have been many times longer. These are just intended as starting places for a subsection of comics.

And speaking of uk artists, how about that Tom Gauld? Is he on that list? He gets you into the whole realm of the mini-comic…

My shortlist included Sacco and Brown.

A few names that I think have the stature to be added to your list are Charles Burns of Black Hole fame, Joe Sacco, whose political series on Bosnia and Palestine combine indie-comics and personal/political journalism; Chester Brown, best known lately for the Canadian history comic Louis Riel, and whose “yummy fur” comics were weird, surreal, painful and beautifully drawn. Adrian Tomine (Optic Nerve) writes well-observed short fiction and draws with a cool, clean style though perhaps not graphically innovative. New Zealand’s Dylan Horrocks has done some terrifically inventive work, mostly dealing with alternate history of comics themselves, in “Hicksville” and “Atlas.” How about Bryan Lee O’Malley’s loopy, slice-of-life, slacker-martial-arts- musical sort-of-manga series, “Scott Pilgrim?” Just to name a few!
