08: A Graphic Diary of the Campaign Trail

Text Size

Synopsis

For a new generation of political readers who are also lovers of graphic novels, the same audience that made the graphic adaption of The 9/11 Report a bestseller, comes 08. Say goodbye to that political drudgery and welcome the rebirth of the campaign trail memoir. Illustrated by Shooting War's Dan Goldman and told by The New Republic's Michael Crowley, 08 is destined to become a seminal work in the new wave of comics journalism. 08 will take readers behind the candidates' phony veneers and into their war rooms and inner circles. Covering both the Democrats and the Republicans, 08 will burst the press bubble around these campaigns and explain to readers what has become of presidential politics and the unlikely, true story of what it takes to win a party's nomination.
