I've created or co-created a wide selection of graphic novels, comics, and zines.

The Influencing Machine is my collaboration with journalist Brooke Gladstone. It's a visionary and opinionated work of graphic nonfiction on the media and its discontents. Gladstone bursts onto the page as an illustrated character, who conducts the reader through two millennia of history — from the newspapers in Caesar's Rome to the penny press of the American Revolution and the manipulations of contemporary journalism. It debunks the notion that "The Media" is an external force, outside of our control, since we've begun directly constructing, filtering, and responding to what we watch and read. It shows that we have met the media and it is us. So now what? More info and excerpts ->>The Influencing Machine. 170 pp., $23.95. hardcover |

A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge is a nonfiction account of a cross-section of New Orleans residents and their experiences during and after Hurricane Katrina. Starting with their lives before the storm, the book traces how they deal with the hurricane when it hits, and what happens to them afterward, from losing all their possessions, to facing the flooding, to being trapped in the Convention Center, to evacuating and not being able to return home — all told in comic book form. Along the way (hopefully), A.D. reminds the reader of the vitality and spirit of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. A.D. began as a webcomic on SMITH Magazine. The expanded hardcover edition of A.D. debuted in 2009 from Pantheon Graphic Novels. A.D. was a New York Times bestseller, was nominated for the Eisner and Harvey Awards, and was selected for inclusion in The Best American Comics 2010. A.D. has been used for high school and college courses, and comes with a free teacher's guide. Read A.D. ->>A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge. 208 pp., $24.95.
