Sikoryak is the master of the pop culture pastiche. In Masterpiece Comics, he interpreted classic literature with defining twentieth-century comics. With Terms and Conditions, he made the unreadable contract that everyone signs, and no one reads, readable. He employs his magic yet again to investigate the very framework of the country with Constitution Illustrated. By visually interpreting the complete text of the supreme law of the land with more than a century of American pop culture icons, Sikoryak distills the very essence of the government legalese from the abstract to the tangible, the historical to the contemporary. Among Sikoryak s spot-on unions of government articles and amendments with famous comic-book characters: the Eighteenth Amendment that instituted prohibition is articulated with Homer Simpson running from Chief Wiggum; the Fourteenth Amendment that solidifies citizenship to all people born and naturalized in the United States is personified by Ms. Marvel; and, of course, the Nineteenth Amendment offering women the right to vote is a glorious depiction of Wonder Woman breaking free from her chains. American artists from George Herriman (Krazy Kat) and Charles Schulz (Peanuts) to Raina Telgemeier (Sisters) and Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For) are homaged, with their characters reimagined in historical costumes and situations. We the People has never been more apt.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49523279692049,"sku":"GOR013325820","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49736248754449,"sku":"NGR9781770463967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49756897018129,"sku":"CIN1770463968G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50930356846865,"sku":"CIN1770463968VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53023630033169,"sku":"NIN9781770463967","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1770463968.jpg?v=1751026479"},{"product_id":"terms-and-conditions-book-r-sikoryak-9781770462748","title":"Terms and Conditions","description":"For  his  newest  project,  R.  Sikoryak  tackles the monstrously and infamously dense legal document, iTunes Terms and Conditions, the contract everyone agrees to but no one reads.  In a word for word 94-page adaptation, Sikoryak hilariously turns the agreement  on  its  head each  page  fea- tures  an  avatar  of  Apple  cofounder  and legendary visionary Steve Jobs juxtaposed with a different classic strip such as Mort Walker s Beetle Bailey, or a contemporary graphic  novel  such  as  Craig  Thompson s Blankets or Marjane Satrapi s Persepolis.  Adapting  the  legalese  of  the  iTunes Terms  and  Conditions  into  another  me- dium  seems  like  an  unfathomable  under- taking, yet Sikoryak creates a surprisingly readable document, far different from its original,  purely  textual  incarnation  and thus proving the accessibility and flexibili- ty of comics. When Sikoryak parodies Kate Beaton s Hark A Vagrant peasant comics with  Steve  Jobs  discussing  objectionable material or Homer Simpson as Steve Jobs warning  of  the  penalties  of  copyright  in-fringement, Terms and Conditions serves as a surreal record of our modern digital age  where  technology  competes  with  en- duringly ironclad mediums.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49526213804305,"sku":"GOR008303548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50400993870097,"sku":"CIN1770462740A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50400994918673,"sku":"CIN1770462740G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51796696563985,"sku":"GOR014405943","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52782690730257,"sku":"CIN1770462740VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1770462740.jpg?v=1751344698"},{"product_id":"unquotable-trump-book-r-sikoryak-9781770463042","title":"The Unquotable Trump","description":"R. Sikoryak is famous for taking classic comics and mashing them with famous literature as he did in Masterpiece Comics or even using comics to visualize the iTunes Terms and Conditions contract. Now in these uncertain times, cartoonist R. Sikoryak draws upon the power of comics and satire to frame President Trump and his controversial declarations as the words and actions of the most notable villains and antagonists in comic book history.  Reimagining the most famous comic covers, Sikoryak transforms Wonder Woman into Nasty Woman; Tubby Tompkins into Trump; Black Panther into the Black Voter; the Fantastic Four into the Hombres Fantasticos and Trump into Magneto fighting the Ex-Men.  In perfect Trumpian fashion, The Unquotable Trump will be a 48-page treasury annual needlessly oversized and garishly colored;  a throw-back to the past when both Comics and America were Great. This will be the hugest comic, truly a great comic.

R. Sikoryak, the cartoonist who cemented his reputation as the king of the visual mash-up with Masterpiece Comics and The Unquotable Trump, sets his sights on the document that explained to the world why America s thirteen colonies were to be sovereign states. A prequel of sorts to his Constitution Illustrated, Sikoryak presents the unabridged text of the Declaration, rendered in the bright, bold, and iconic styles of over 60 different American comics, cartoons, and graphic novels from over a century.  The severing of colonial ties to Great Britain has never been more vividly manifested than in the skillful hands of Sikoryak, who doesn't hesitate to dream up Jeffy from Family Circus as Thomas Jefferson and Elmer Fudd as a British Redcoat. King George III is deliciously portrayed as pop culture s most famous villains, such as Thanos, The Joker, Scar from The Lion King, and many more. Sikoryak also skillfully adopts the styles of such comic artists as Will Eisner of The Spirit, Allie Brosh of Solutions and Other Problems, Morrie Turner of Wee Pals, Mark Beyer of Amy and Jordan, and Floyd Gottfredson of Mickey Mouse. Declaration Illustrated is an entertaining multilayered history lesson for buffs of the American Revolution and American comics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53116155920657,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53116156084497,"sku":"NGR9781770467170","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781770467170.jpg?v=1771498945"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-r-sikoryak.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
