Release Party for World War 3 Illustrated
Posted December 4, 2007 by jmacphee in Events
One of my all time favorite political art publications, World War 3 Illustrated, is coming out with a new issue! Started in 1981 as a response to Ronald Reagan's aggressive free market ideology and the US' swing to the right, WW3 is a one of a kind publication. For 26 years they've been publishing some of the most compelling political comics and art, and have published some of the most interesting graphic artists at work in world, including Christopher Cardinale (one page of his new comic in WW3 is shown here), Sue Coe, Scott Cunningham, Eric Drooker, Fly, Sabrina Jones, Peter Kuper (who did the cover of the new issue shown here), Mac McGill, Kevin Pyle, Joe Sacco, Nicole Schulman, Chuck Sperry, Seth Tobocman and Anton Van Dalen. When I was in high school I stumbled upon WW3 and it really helped me understand the first gulf war, pulling together great art and radical politics. To this day I think it still think it is one of the few places to regularly see visual artists grapple with the most important political issues in the world. Last issue included some amazing work by Christopher Cardinale and Seth Tobocman on the New Orleans.
Anyway, I'm blabbling and here's the info on the release paty:
