 | Anarchy for the Masses by Kereth Cowe-Spigai
Anarchy For The Masses: The Disinformation Guide to The Invisibles by Patrick Neighly and Kereth Cowe-Spigai ISBN 0-9713942-2-9 Grant Morrison`s prophetic, epoch-making graphic novel `The Invisibles` made as important a contribution to the counterculture of the 1990s and 2000s as `Naked Lunch` and `On the Road` did for the 1950s and 60s. Like those works, `The Invisibles` had a dedicated cult following and is only now beginning to be recognized in the mainstream. Just as The Invisibles is a comprehensive guide to life in the 21st century, Patrick Neighly and Kereth Cowe-Spigai`s ANARCHY FOR THE MASSES is a comprehensive guide to `The Invisibles` (similar to The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender): it includes not only full annotation to every issue, and critical analyses, but also exclusive, extensive interviews with: * Series creator and writer Grant Morrison * Artists Philip Bond, Phil Jiminez, Sean Phillips, Warren Pleece, Frank Quitely, Cameron Stewart, Jill Thompson, Chris Weston, and Steve Yeowell * Series editor Stuart Moore ANARCHY FOR THE MASSES includes extensive amounts of new material, including: * A brand new cover by mega-popular comic book artist Frank Quietly (`The Invisibles`, `New X-Men`, `Flex Mentallo`, `The Authority`). * New interior illustrations by series artists Chris Weston (`The Invisibles`, `Lucifer`, `The Filth`) and Steve Yeowell (`The Invisibles`, `Sebastian O`, `Zenith`).
