4. Scenes From An Impending Marriage
Adrian Tomine, a cartoonist most famous for his illustrations in Optic Nerve and The New Yorker, took a break from his usual work to document his upcoming marriage to Sarah Brennan. The palm-sized book of black & white strips displays all the ins 'n' outs, both positive and negative, of planning a wedding. Tomine's presentation is touching, unique and honest, resulting in a comic with more charm than any other on this list.
