"Gonick illuminates with the Enlightenment, then goes deep into the French Revolution, followed by Napoleon's conquests. He covers everything from the Opium Wars to the post-Napoleonic world, industrialisation and the working class, early 20th-century revolutionaries, World Wars I and II, the Cold War era, religious fundamentalism, and the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. After illustrating three centuries of major events and movements around the globe, Gonick finally brings readers to the eve of a new world order, with a semi-united Europe and rising powers in China and India, and in the end reflects on the ongoing challenge of a sustainable future."

San Francisco: City Lights Books, (2017). SIGNED hardcover first edition - When Madonna was evicted from his longtime home and studio in the Mission District, ground-zero in the tech wars transforming the city, he found himself "yet another victim of San Franciscos overheated boomtown housing market, with its soaring prices and rampant evictions. He decided to use his comic as a cathartic public platform to explore the experience, and to capture the complex, highly charged atmosphere of a cityand a lifebeing forced through a painful transition.. . The line between reality and surreality begins to blur almost immediately, in real life and in his comic. Absurd, maddening, and all-too-poignant, these drawings and stories capture the spirit of not just San Francisco, but a cultural epidemic that has now spread to cities around the world." SIGNED on the title page with a small drawing and dated in the year of publication. Illustrated with drawings by the author throughout. 77 pp. Illustrated endpapers. ISBN: 978-0872867420.
