Founded in 1980, WORLD WAR 3 ILLUSTRATED (www.worldwar3illustrated.org) is the longest running political comics zine in history. What makes this hard-hitting anthology so interesting is that each issue takes on an important theme: child abuse, elections, biohazards, riots, religion, fascism, etc. Unlike most anthologies, in WW3 you get the feeling that you're reading one epic story. An obvious, but unique approach to anthologies.
Here are the brand new issues, as well as most of the rare, out-of-print back issues to WW3. We highly recommend you collect all of them before they disappear:

What do New Orleans and Baghdad have in common? One, a victim of Hurricane Katrina; a ”natural disaster” caused by Global Warming and governmental neglect. The other a city ravaged by an unnecessary war fueled by corporate greed and our addiction to oil. The radical artists of World War 3 Illustrated take on these issues of man-made disasters, and what hope we have to stop the cycles of violence and environmental destruction. With contributions by: James Romberger, Art Speigelman, Sabrina Jones, Seth Tobocman, Penny Allen, Mac McGill and many more. Cover art by Nicole Schulman. Distributed by Top Shelf. -- 88 pages, Anthology

From attacks on Sponge Bob, to fake newscasters, to nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, to tax cuts for the rich, Neo Cons are everywhere!

For a quarter century, World War 3 has been on the cutting edge of political comix, and this 25th anniversary edition continues with a line up of today's sharpest talents, including: Spain, Joe Sacco, David Rees, Steve Brodner, Barry Blitt, Eric Drooker, Sabrina Jones, Ryan Inzana, Seth Tobocman, Peter Kuper, and a wraparound cover by Sue Coe. World War 3 is the antidote to complacency. Edited by Peter Kuper and Ryan Inzana, and distributed by Top Shelf. -- 64 pages
