“World War 3 Illustrated is the real thing. . . . As always
it mixes newcomers and veterans, emphasizes content over style (but has
plenty of style), keeps that content accessible and critical, and pays
its printers and distributors but no one else. If it had nothing more
than that kind of dedication to recommend it, it would be invaluable.
But it has much, much more.“
—New York Times
“Reading WW3 is both a cleansing and an enraging experience.
The graphics remind us how very serious the problems and how vile the
institutions that cause them really are.“
—Utne Reader
“Powerful graphic art and comic strips from the engaged and enraged
pens of urban artists. The subjects include poverty, war, homelessness
and drugs; it’s a poke in the eye from the dark side of America,
tempered by what the artists describe as their ’oppositional optimism.’“
—Whole Earth Review
“This is art—not marketing—on the newsstand. It represents the sort
of creativity too rarely given an outlet in comics. It’s the best and
longest running alternative comics anthology around.“
—Comics Journal
“The artists of World War 3 have forged a space by turns
harsh and exciting, honest and rowdy, boisterous and straight-forward,
always powered by the wild and unruly harmonies of love. It’s a space
where hope and history rhyme, where joy and justice meet. Their voices
provoke and soothe and energize. I want to hear more.“
—Bill Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground
