Critics Review
“The most slyly patriotic book of the year.” —The New York Times, Best Graphic Novels of 2020
“This pastiche of comics and politics is a cleverly educational and irresistible way to engage with this foundational text.” —Publishers Weekly
“From Preamble to Amendment XXVII, this is a comic lover/political junkie’s dream… Without a shadow of a doubt, [Constitution Illustrated] is one of the most exciting comic works to come out in this, the year of our lord, 2020.” —School Library Journal
“Sikoryak’s satirical pairings breathe new and sometimes uncomfortable life into the United States’ most living document.” —Pop Matters
“Constitution Illustrated is as much a history lesson about great American comics as it is about the country’s most cherished foundational document.”
—Popzara
“The Constitution is a fixture of our lives, whether we think about it daily or not, and so too are some if not all of these artists. They are the We of We the People.”
—Multiversity Comics
“The Constitution Illustrated is so easy to read… that even a man-child U.S. President might learn something about the laws, precepts and rights bequeathed to the nation he leads.”
—Print Mag
“R. Sikoryak, able to perfectly mimic any other cartoonist, is the Will Elder of our time… I’m totally in awe of the many different styles and characters that are included in this handy, little tome.”
—Boing Boing
