THE JUNGLE
Upton Sinclair, adapted by Peter Kuper
Peter Kuper’s Classics Illustrated adaptation of Upton Sinclair's whistle-blowing novel on the conditions at the Chicago slaughter houses in the early 20th century is brought back to press in a beautiful larger size hardcover. One of his best and most poignant works.
"An enlarged and welcomed reissue from its 1980s Classic Illustrated origins. Mr. Kuper's surreal approach and somber color choices meld with the prose to present a powerful statement."
-Joe Szadkowski, Washington Times
"Grade -A. The Jungle stands as the perfect blending of subject matter and art style, and Kuper's passion for the source material shows through on every page."
-Cliff Biggers, Comic Shop News
"In rendering Sinclair's vision, Kuper uses the full power of his graphic style to remarkable effect. By adding his own purely visual commentary, Kuper essentially doubles the power of the book's social message. "The Jungle" is gorgeous to look at. Successfully mixes both artistic and political agendas into a new work of engaged literature." -Time.comix
"Kuper infuses this 1906 novel with the energy of his own profoundly original graphic innovation, making it a classic in its own right."
-Publishers Weekly starred review
"Kuper deserves an award for seamlessly adapting a much longer story without compromising its integrity." -The Hartford Advocate
"Like many of you, I had to read Sinclair's novel for a class. I hated it. Yet somehow he pulls it off. I can appreciate what Sinclairs's novel did when it came out, the story never sang to me until now. Grade: A" -Marc Mason, MoviePoopShoot.com
"Haunting...lush." -Utne Reader
"Kuper does an outstanding job of fitting Sinclair's dense novel into a slim and cogent graphic format." -VOYA
"Remarkable artwork. A very moving work, a wonderful companion to Sinclair's." -Washington Post Bookworld
"Recommended." -Library Media Connection

MIND’S EYE
Peter Kuper
An Eye of the Beholder collection
Started as the first comic strip ever to run in the New York Times, this silent set of strips chronicles the world, its foibles, its intricacies, its dreams through the eyes of most anything you can imagine. Set up as visual puzzles, the trick is to figure out whose eyes they are before turning the page and seeing the final panel...In a beautiful small hardcover format.
"Cleverly conceived, intricately drawn visual and perceptual puzzles. An ingenious little book, well worth adding to a comics collection." -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The best comics are the most surprising ones: four different frames seen by, among others, a window washer, a crash-test dummy, a construction worker using a jackhammer, and a new-born baby. -KIRKUS REVIEWS
