Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Organized under categories and including a helpful time line, this book is sure to surprise, enlighten, educate, and inspire." --Henry Chamberlain, comicsgrinder.com

"Reading through this strikingly designed book, one cannot help but admire those many young, often obscure and struggling, courageous comic book artists and cartoonists who, with unbridled passion, took on unpopular issues, bashed stereotypes, tore down walls and smashed icons." --Bill Berkowitz, truth-out.org

"World War 3 Illustrated is the real thing. . . . As always it mixes newcomers and veterans, emphasizes content over style (but has plenty of style), keeps that content accessible and critical, and pays its printers and distributors but no one else. If it had nothing more than that kind of dedication to recommend it, it would be invaluable. But it has much, much more." --New York Times

"Powerful graphic art and comic strips from the engaged and enraged pens of urban artists. The subjects include poverty, war, homelessness, and drugs; it's a poke in the eye from the dark side of America, tempered by what the artists describe as their 'oppositional optimism.'" --Whole Earth Review

"This is art--not marketing--on the newsstand. It represents the sort of creativity too rarely given an outlet in comics. It's the best and longest running alternative comics anthology around." --Comics Journal

"Far ahead of its time, World War 3 paved the way for the more established forms of comics journalism now. . . . this is an indispensable collection of groundbreaking comics." --Publishers Weekly

"World War 3 is a useful subjective historical record. When looked at alongside other key comics documents, it's a window on two generations of alternative cultural and political ideas." --Steve Heller, the Atlantic

"It is safe to say that nothing, in the annals of comic art, has ever resembled World War 3 Illustrated. Luckily for comic enthusiasts everywhere, this remarkable body of work is now collected in an oversized, chock-full volume." --Paul Buhle, Dissent

"Reading World War 3 Illustrated is both a cleansing and an enraging experience. The graphics remind us how very serious the problems and how vile the institutions that cause them really are." --Utne Reader

"These comics are individual, raw, exceedingly biased, and will stay with the reader for a long time to come." --Gretchen Wagner, San Francisco Book Review
