Top Notch Comics

Top Notch Comics is a 1998 one-shot from Fantagraphics, a concise single-issue anthology that showcases the publisher's commitment to offbeat, creator-driven work. Though brief, it stands as a snapshot of the alternative-comics scene of the late 1990s, collecting short pieces from a range of notable independent talents. Its title nods to the golden-age spirit while delivering the distinctive, often irreverent storytelling that defines Fantagraphics' catalog.
