SMITH founder Larry Smith put it best, “Who/what else has been on NPR, Penthouse, Daily Candy, and Newsweek in the same breath?” The answer, as I’m guessing you might have figured out, is our lil’ ol’ comic book. Newsweek’s Matthew Phillips writes in one of the best features so far about the SHOOTING WAR story and everyone involved in making it a success, “For this horrifying vision of the future we can thank journalist Anthony Lappe and graphic artist Dan Goldman, co-authors of Shooting War, (Grand Central Publishing) a stunningly rendered graphic novel that manages to stick a red-hot skewer into the war on terror, Islamic jihad, the mainstream media and the antiestablishment blogosphere in one fell swoop.”
Daily Candy, the shopaholic’s bestfriend, pointed its devoted legions our way, noting, “Alongside commentary on celebrity, terrorism, and the blogerati are snapshots of New York media (New York columns, irreverent Dan Rather quotes, Post headlines). The visuals brilliantly blend digital illustration, photography, painting, and collage. And the book will fit nicely between your copy of The Shadow and Superman #423: Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow. Obviously.”
