Roadstrips by Pete Friedrich
The explosion of comic books and graphic novels into the mainstream have demonstrated their storytelling power and accessibility. Roadstrips is a unique comics anthology that takes a fresh look at our definitions of America in an era of upheaval and national soul-searching. A stellar line-up of 24 top cartoonists - among them Peter Kuper, Gilbert Hernandez, Jessica Abel, Pete Bagge, Richard Sala, Brian Biggs and Lloyd Dangle - explore identity on both a personal and a national level, illustrating today's postmodern patchwork with billious narratives, thoughtful tales and hilarious memoirs. Together they create a composite national portrait like few others, revealing powerful and thoughtful stories about coming of age as American citizens in a medium whose affecting power is making an impact on our psyche.
