For over 40 years, the one and only pacificREVIEW: A West Coast Arts Review Annual has published emerging and established writers of poetry, fiction, and prose. For the first time in the storied life of this small yet mighty publication, the journal turns its eye to graphic narrative, highlighting over 30 artists telling moving and important stories through comics, collage, graphic poetry, and more.

This edition is an explosion of color, emotion, art, and political dissent: loud, irreverent, and patiently waiting to be experienced. In an unprecedented collaboration, pacREV and Amatl Comix made this journal issue a regular book in the Amatl catalog.
