The most important figure in the history of communism, which ended up becoming a core component of the central narrative of the 20th century, Marx gave his name to Marxism, and in the process became a figure simultaneously revered and reviled, worshipped and feared, respected and denigrated; in short, one of the most controversial figures in history. Yet, he was also a mere mortal, who grew up, fell in love, and had a family.

The big three are now all together under one cover. Corinne Maier and Anne Simon's comics biographies of MARX, FREUD & EINSTEIN were each originally released as stand alone hardcover volumes. Now you can get all three together in this excellent NoBrow omnibus volume for LESS than the price of ONE of the hardcovers. 'Nuff said.
The latest Now is here and it looks like another winner! 120 pages of great comics from North America and Europe – and perhaps elsewhere, as well (not sure) – all making their North American debuts, regardless.
