Declaration/Emancipation Illustrated

Bol

R.Sikoryak revisits the Declaration of Independence on 250th anniversary of its signing. 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.
