20th CENTURY MEN goes to second printing!

Well, that’s a good news.

If you are not familiar with our beautiful book, let me qoute Ritesh Babu from his ‘Letters from Limbo. #8 The Grift Cycle‘ article.

20th Century Men is one of the best comics of the past few years and it’s a deeply, deeply political text about Western Imperialism. Set in an alternate history 20th century, it’s about a conflict that wages in Afghanistan between the Americans and the Soviets. It’s searing, specific, and rooted in research that flows with a naturalism and strikes like thunder. It’s a comic about perspective, history, power, and how ideas morph into systems that then devour people and enslave them. It’s about love and loss and a dream of freedom in the face of oppression. Every facet of it is designed to purely be a comic, a way to express something that could be expressed no other way, in no other form. And its exploration of its ideas and political realities feels so comprehensive, layered, and satisfying that by the end it’s impossible not to be moved and shattered. That, to me, is art. Not gesturing. But commitment. Absolute effort. Not just reducing a cause or a belief to more easy consumption slogans–but sitting with the discomfort and the mess of our world to let us reflect on our humanity. Art, not content.”

Thank you so much, Ritesh!
