A Flock of Dreamers
An Anthology of Dream-Inspired Comics

This is the only anthology of dream-comics I've ever found. Like other published dream art, nearly all the contributors are male. None of the art is what I'd call beautiful and some's downright primitive; still, it's a great how-to book proving that dreams don't have to be presented prettily or even artfully to be powerful.

I cheated on one. Flock's co-editor Aleksandar Zograf / Sasha Rakezić has some short pieces in the book, but the story I've posted below, A Day in Serbia, is in his comic Life Under Sanctions, not Flock. I felt it was a stronger example of his work, and the comic is hard to find now.
