Booklist Review

It arrives too late for election season, but the latest entry in Comics Journal's series of collections of material originally published in its pages reprints lengthy interviews with four artists who have been engaged with politics for some four decades: Jules Feiffer, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning strip ran in the Village Voice for 41 years; David Levine, whose -often-savage caricatures have adorned the New York Review of Books for nearly as long; Edward Sorel, a prominent magazine illustrator who initially worked in the early 1960s for lefty journals including Ramparts and The Nation; and Ralph Steadman, best known for his caustic illustrations for Hunter S. Thompson's books. Interviewer Groth, Comics Journal's editor, brings thorough knowledge of the four artists' careers to bear on questions that elicit their passions for their work and the social causes that inform it. The book's oversize format--it's a paperback the size of a vinyl record album--is a bit unwieldy, but it gratifyingly accommodates the copious reproductions of the subjects' art. --Gordon Flagg Copyright 2005 Booklist
