R. Sikoryak is the master of the pop culture pastiche. In
Masterpiece Comics, he interpreted classic literature with defining
twentieth-century comics. With Terms and Conditions, he made the
unreadable contract that everyone signs, and no one reads,
readable. He employs his magic yet again to investigate the very
framework of the country with Constitution Illustrated. By visually
interpreting the complete text of the supreme law of the land with
more than a century of American pop culture icons, Sikoryak
distills the very essence of the government legalese from the
abstract to the tangible, the historical to the contemporary. Among
Sikoryak s spot-on unions of government articles and amendments
with famous comic-book characters: the Eighteenth Amendment that
instituted prohibition is articulated with Homer Simpson running
from Chief Wiggum; the Fourteenth Amendment that solidifies
citizenship to all people born and naturalized in the United States
is personified by Ms. Marvel; and, of course, the Nineteenth
Amendment offering women the right to vote is a glorious depiction
of Wonder Woman breaking free from her chains. American artists
from George Herriman (Krazy Kat) and Charles Schulz (Peanuts) to
Raina Telgemeier (Sisters) and Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out
For) are homaged, with their characters reimagined in historical
costumes and situations. We the People has never been more apt.
R. Sikoryak is famous for taking classic comics and mashing them
with famous literature as he did in Masterpiece Comics or even
using comics to visualize the iTunes Terms and Conditions contract.
Now in these uncertain times, cartoonist R. Sikoryak draws upon the
power of comics and satire to frame President Trump and his
controversial declarations as the words and actions of the most
notable villains and antagonists in comic book history. Reimagining
the most famous comic covers, Sikoryak transforms Wonder Woman into
Nasty Woman; Tubby Tompkins into Trump; Black Panther into the
Black Voter; the Fantastic Four into the Hombres Fantasticos and
Trump into Magneto fighting the Ex-Men. In perfect Trumpian
fashion, The Unquotable Trump will be a 48-page treasury annual
needlessly oversized and garishly colored; a throw-back to the past
when both Comics and America were Great. This will be the hugest
comic, truly a great comic. You won t want to miss this, trust me,
you ll see!
