Discipline is told largely through the letters exchanged between the Cox siblings—incorporating material from actual Quaker and soldier journals of the era—and drawn in a style that combines modern graphic storytelling with the Civil War–era battlefield illustrations of the likes of Thomas Nast and Winslow Homer.

“A harrowing but nuanced Civil War epic...The blend of mournful and contemplative musings from Charles and Fanny, along with the raw, ugly, details of life during wartime, combine into a searingly grim yet insightful study. Shaw artfully captures the timeless crisis of idealism meeting painful reality.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

The artists in the book: Tom Floyd, Grass Green, Seitu Hayden, Jay Jackson, Charles Johnson, Yaoundé Olu, Turtel Onli, Jackie Ormes, Morrie Turner.

“This zesty anthology fills a gaping hole in the history of American cartooning . . . . [It’s Life as I See It ] is an invaluable treasury of dynamic comic works of satire, protest, solidarity, and liberation.” —Donna Seaman, Booklist

“Is Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise another mind-blowing, oversized masterpiece from the legendary ink-spattered Gary Panter? I say yes.” —Matt Groening

“[Gary Panter’s paradise] may be hectic and gross, but it’s also lively and comic and kinetic and crawling with ideas . . . [Jimbo is] a reminder, too, that late twentieth-century American culture was so rich even its dystopian nightmares were feasts.” —Jackson Arn, Art in America

“Trots and Bonnie is hilarious, poignant, raunchy, gorgeously drawn, and more relevant than ever. Shary Flenniken is an absolute genius.” —Roz Chast

“Flenniken wanted to widen the eyes of these [National Lampoon] readers to what the world was like for women . . . . The pictures consistently delight. As the eye takes them in, one smiles, then giggles, before being overtaken by sputters and spleen.” —Bob Levin, The Comics Journal
