Description
45 years after his first political cartoons focused on capitalism's impact, Peter Kuper takes stock of the state of the world... and isn't optimistic about what he sees. Across 100 pages of vivid, colorful, silent four-panel comics, Kuper traces as many aspects of how business and politics have accelerated the climate crisis, and looks at how, if things keep going in the direction they are, our oligarchic lives will be further transformed. Witty and angry in equal measure, Kuper deploys bold figures, clever metaphors, despairing howls, and some of the best drawings of his career to get his message across.

Originally serialized in the legendary French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, each page is a single blackly funny gag strip, but themes flow, recur and build across sequences to create a true hybrid of political cartoon and graphic novel. Since co-founding the influential political comics magazine World War III Illustrated in 1979, Kuper has maintained his deeply humanist / anti-capitalist perspective, while developing and broadening his graphic and story-telling skills across a range of topics and styles. In this book, he brings all of that experience, study and passion together into a powerful work that stands as a culmination of his career. See the future now, and laugh hollowly while you still can.

About the Author
Kuper, Peter: - Peter Kuper's first book collection New York, New York was published by Fantagraphics in 1987, and has published over two dozen further books since then. He has become one of America's most broadly-published politically-minded cartoonists. Having co-founded World War III Illustrated magazine in 1979, his graphically bold illustrations went on to appear in Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, The Progressive, The Nation, The New Yorker, and many more over the following decades. His silent "Eye Of The Beholder" holds the distinction of being the only comic strip to ever run in the New York Times. In 1997, his gift for silent, non-partisan comics on politics saw him take over Mad magazine's classic "Spy Vs Spy" series, a role he holds to this day. Kuper has won multiple awards for comics and illustration, including the 2024 RFK Journalism Award in cartooning.Tapper, Jake: - Jake Tapper is an anchor and correspondent for CNN. He's contributed to Emmy-Award winning journalism and is also a New York Times bestselling author.
