Founded in 1979 by Seth Tobocman and Peter Kuper, World War 3 Illustrated magazine is a labor of love run by a collective of artists (both first-timers and established professionals) and political activists working with the unified goal of creating a home for political comics, graphics, and stirring personal stories. World War 3 Illustrated isn't about a war that may happen; it's about the ongoing wars being waged around the world and on our very own doorsteps. The confrontational comics published in WW3 Illustrated shine a little reality on the fantasy world of the American kleptocracy and have inspired the developing popularity and recognition of comics as a respected art form.
With the radical artists at
World War 3 Illustrated, we're publishing a 320-page, full-color, hardcover retrospective exhibition of the magazine that's arranged thematically, including housing rights, feminism, environmental issues, religion, police brutality, globalization, depictions of conflicts from the Middle East to the Midwest, and more.

"This book needs a warning label: DANGER! CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE: OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK! It's a punch in the gut and a kick in the ass, an incitement to pay attention and to be astonished, and then to get up and act out. World War 3 is an invitation to a revolution."
----Bill Ayers, activist, educator, co-founder of the Weather Underground and author of Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident, from his introduction.
