Tagged as High Culture for Low Brows, this is a graphic novel full of eclectic works. My favorite is Maus, which I've read several times before and will be reading several times more in the future. This collection just featured chapter 10 of the Maus series but it gives a good idea to someone new to Maus of just how great the series is.
More fun to be had with a full adventure of Krazy Kat. Made in the 1930's, it's still pretty entertaining. My dad is from 1936 and he's not that entertaining anymore :)
Lynda Barry is always a favorite and was also included. I've read the "strip" before but still really like it.
If you like low brow, read Raw.

This book is filled with so many hidden treasures from the greats! A chapter from Art Spiegelman’s Maus was published in here serially, and there are stories from Lynda Barry, Alan Moore, Kim Dietsch... there’s an early Chris Ware short story from before he got really experimental with panel layouts, Aline K-Crumb has a couple pages, a bunch of others. I found this magazine in a used book store and I feel very fortunate to have gotten to read it on paper. They print each story on special paper suited to the art style, with different coloring techniques and everything. This issue included a collection of an old Krazy Kat story arc, printed on newsprint! If anyone out there knows where I can get the other volumes of this magazine, let me know!
