Heya Justin,
Happy Tuesday. Just curious; how was "the formatting with the contributor listings" any different and/or more clear than the usual anthology. Didn't get a visual or a description to go along with this comment, but would have enjoyed one or the other. (We need to get you a scanner!)

Hey Ryan!
This will be anti-climactic, but there was a page at the end that had short 1-2 sentence bios on the creators, and then in parenthesis listed the pages they were responsible for in the book. It was just... very clear.
And I was very tired of recent anthologies like Girl Comics or even Strange Tales that failed to include anything discernible.
Now that I think about it, the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror last year was probably the best I've seen, with the same approach, and then the addition of clever self-portraits by the creators involved.
Thanks!
J
