Book Description
A furious escaped lab bunny vandalises symbols of corporate greed while arguing political theory with a pigtailed eco-warrior, as Zen Pug observes it all in blissful detachment. They drag her pop culture-bedazzled brother, his anarchist boyfriend and other characters - kicking and screaming - into the struggle against the rapacious thugs and theocratic wingnuts ruling imperial America. Stephanie McMillan's comics, deploying an engaging visual style that draws in everything from folk art to anime, confront the insanity and heartlessness of global capitalism and war.

Silk Road to Ruin
Author: Ted Rall
Publisher: NBM Publishing
ISBN: 1561638870
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Part graphic novel travelogue, part tongue-in-cheek travel guide, this collection gathers the adventures of caustic cartoonist Ted Rall in the wild and woolly central Asian countries, a veritable powder keg sitting atop the oil the world will need tomorrow. The book combines articles with comics in chapters that relate Rall’s experiences retracing the legendary Silk Road, from the sublime history of China to the absurdity of the present-day petty dictatorships of the “The ’Stans,” to which the author had the temerity—or perhaps stupidity—to return, including once with a group of listeners on his radio show, on a dare. This always-lively compendium offers readers an exotic adventure, satire, and a fun way to find out more about an often overlooked part of the world that looms in importance with its immense, and immensely coveted, reserves of oil.

From the winner of the 2012 Robert F.

In The Minimum Security Chronicles, the latest long-form narrative from Robert F.
