A raucous--and occasionally vegan--look at the world of animals, their advocates, and their enemies. But mostly their charms.
World War 3 Illustrated Collective has addressed animal rights and environmental issues for decades, and in their latest anthology they explore the link between the two. The book features an in-depth interview with leading animal rights activist and artist Sue Coe, illustrated with work from her sixty-plus-year career. Mike Diana--the only American cartoonist ever jailed for obscenity--turns his dark vision toward the obscene ways we treat animals.
Included are excerpts from Peter Kuper's 2025 book Insectropolis, a Best of 2025 pick by both Library Journal and The Comics Journal, along with artist and environmentalist Perrin Roosevelt's provocative and funny Poking the Squid: What We Can Learn from Animal Sex, appear throughout the collection. Contributors also examine urban liminal spaces and the creatures that thrive within their margins, women's roles in early animal rights groups, and connections between animal rights and other major social movements.
The anthology further presents a first-person account of an early direct action against animal abuse, comics on factory farming and its alternatives, the story of the forty-three macaque primates's dramatic escape from a North Carolina animal testing facility, biologist Dr. Gooley's transformation into a rat activist, and a new work by Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell, among many others.
Contributors include: Paula Hewitt Amram, Anna Bystran, Christopher Cardinale, Sue Coe, Gianluca Costantini, Scott Cunningham, Mike Diana, Eric Drooker, Bob Fingerman, Perrin Roosevelt Ireland, Peter Kuper, Linniers, Patrick McDonnell, Mac McGill, Fly, Kevin Pyle, Jos Sances, Jordan Worley, and many others.
