...best anthology of the year only promises to get better as the biannual book-sized series continues to nurture some of the medium's most interesting young talent. The series perfectly balances the more avante garde works of an artist like Anders Nilsen whose faceless characters pose against photographic backgrounds while musing on the nature of reality, with more straightforward work like Andrice Arp's delightful adaptation of Japanese folktales.

Early in the second run, he lagged slightly behind his pal Jure Kosir of Slovenia. Then, under the eyes of 5.5 million Italian TV watchers, La Bomba proved as good as his name. He blasted into the steep final leg and cut his arcs sharply in his gate-crashing style. He ended with a composite time of 2:21.96, 0.07 sec. faster than Kosir...
