Seth Tobocman’s Disaster and Resistance
AK is thrilled to publish Seth Tobocman’s haunting and inspiring Disaster and Resistance: Comics and Landscapes for the 21st Century (introduced by Mumia Abu-Jamal). The work outlines pressing social and political struggles at the dawn of the twenty-first century—from post 9-11 New York City, to Israel and Palestine, to Iraq and New Orleans. Fans of Seth’s work will see that his punch has not softened in this new book, which skewers the individuals and institutions reaping havoc across the globe today. In his bold comic style, he chronicles events as they happen, musing not on the instability and fear, but on the struggle to resist the disaster that they would visit upon us.
Here is a small excerpt from the book: a piece called “Bayou Future.”
