Comic Books
Hark! A Vagrant is an uproarious romp through history and literature seen through the sharp, contemporary lens of New Yorker cartoonist and comics-sensation Kate Beaton.
No era nor tome is left unscathed as Beaton rightly skewers the Western World’s revolutionaries, leaders, sycophants, and suffragists while equally honing her wit on the hapless heroes, heroines, and villains of the best-loved fiction. In just four years, Beaton has taken the comics world by storm with her non sequiturs, cheeky comebacks, and irreverent punch lines.

This book already hit the bookstore shelves and I’ve received my copy. Really wonderful book. Pick this up.
Yay!
I urge anyone to get this and also the ‘Octopus Pie’ trades that have been coming out. Easily the two best webcomics right now.
are her superhero satires in this? Cuz those are hilarious!
Just the Aquaman one, I think. But then, I haven’t made it through the whole book yet.
You get some Aquaman, some Wonder Woman, X-Men, and my personal favorite, SEXY BATMAN!
Sexy Batman is what made it my Book Of The Month (okay maybe not entirely).
