Comics for liberation in Palestine and beyond.
How do we organize and build social movements in the heart of empire, to face the US war machine and rising fascism? These comics serve as a beacon of hope and resistance, for liberation for all people from Palestine to Puerto Rico, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, and beyond.
This collection debuts a number of Palestinian artists whose work has not yet been published in the US, available in English for the first time. These comics, including luminous pieces like drawings of tents by Safaa and other artists in Gaza, speak to the role of art in movements for justice. It also features the work of many artists from around the world creating art in solidarity with the Palestinian people. Like Victor Jara’s iconic resistance anthem, these comics are a “fire of pure love,” a “universal song” to the “right to live in peace” (fuego de puro amor” . . . ”el canto universal / El derecho de vivir en paz”).
The World War 3 Illustrated collective first published an interview with famed Palestinian political cartoonist Naji Al-Ali in 1988. They make that interview available in print again for the first time in decades, along with a portfolio of his cartoons.
Contributors include: Joe Sacco and Art Spiegelman, Annabelle Heckler, Barrack Rima, Dania Omari, Ethan Heitner, Floyd Tangeman, Fuad, Jordan Worley, Larimar Lora, Naji-Al-Ali, Nicole Schulman, Maisara Bahroud, Mohammad Sabaaneh, Mohammad Zenia, Safaa, Seth Tobocman, Shahd Alshamaly, Sue Simensky Bietila, Tenaya Nasser, Tom Keough, and many others.
