Issue #51 The World We Are Fighting For

Buy It Now: The World We Are Fighting For A note from the editors:

2020 will be an explosive year. The actions we take now will define the future of our political systems and the viability of our planet. It is a good time to ask: What do we really care about? What are we fighting for?

World War 3 Illustrated is North America’s longest-running anthology of political comics and, for the fifty-first edition, artists and writers were asked to bring heart and vision to this question. The comics in this edition range from cheerful to angry, from prescriptive to absurd, employing both humor and strong imagery. Some are roadmaps for change. Others simply tell us what the artists’ values are and what they hold dear in an era of climate chaos, social polarization, and political authoritarianism.

Contributors include: ABO Comix Collective, JB Brager, Steve Brodner, Sue Coe, Ethan Heitner, Sandy Jimenez, Ben Katchor, Peter Kuper, Liniers, Mac McGill, Courtney Menard, Rebecca Migdal, José Muñoz, Mohammad Sabaaneh, Sue Simensky, Terry Tapp, Colleen Tighe, Seth Tobocman, Jordan Worley, and more.
