press release: Herbert Marcuse, Philosopher of Utopia, a Graphic Biography, with a foreword by Angela Y. Davis, has been hailed widely by comic artists and Marcuse scholars. It's a beautiful comic art and even fun, as the philosopher escapes Nazi Germany, becomes Ronald Reagan's favorite enemy in California, and an idol of rebellious young people ("Marx-Mao-Marcuse!" from a German chant) in the 1960's. Angela David, Marcuse's former student, has a lot to say. 

Also featured: The Eugene v. Debs Comic edited by Paul Buhle, and the reprinted Radical America Komik of 1969, the

wildly rebellious counterculture comic sold at the Electric Eye book-and-bong store of local yore
