"Welcome to Northern Uganda. In 2002, it's a place where tourists are hacked to death with machetes, 12-year-olds with AK-47s wage war, and celebrities futilely try to get people to care. Moses Lwanga is a pacifist doctor caught at the center of this. But when his life is threatened, Moses suddenly realizes he knows how to kill all too well." -Vertigo

"Introducing another of the latest new generation of European artists like Lewis Trondheim, Joann Sfar or David B. Blain is the latest recipient of the best Album award at Angouleme and he is quickly rising to great fame. On the Bellicose, a destroyer in search of an enemy submarine during wartime, three novice sailors descend into the engine room to escape seasickness. After hours of peregrinations into the steaming bowels of the monstrous boat, they find themselves in front of the huge speed abater machine. Catastrophe follows and from then on, the men live in hell... A deeply human and highly unusual suspenseful tale by an exciting new talent." -NBM

"When Senator Edward Kennedy declared, “Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam,” everyone understood. The Vietnam War has become the touchstone for U.S. military misadventures—a war lost on the home front although never truly lost on the battlefront. During the pivotal decade of 1962 to 1972, U.S. involvement rose from a few hundred advisers to a fighting force of more than one million. This same period saw the greatest schism in American society since the Civil War, a generational divide pitting mothers and fathers against sons and daughters who protested the country’s ever-growing military involvement in Vietnam. Meanwhile, well-intentioned decisions in Washington became operational orders with tragic outcomes in the rice paddies, jungles, and villages of Southeast Asia. Through beautifully rendered artwork,The Vietnam War: A Graphic History depicts the course of the war from its initial expansion in the early 1960s through the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, and what transpired at home, from the antiwar movement and the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to the Watergate break-in and the resignation of a president." -fra omslaget

Pushwagner (kunstnernavn for Terje Brofos, født 1940 i Oslo) begynte arbeidet med billedromanen Soft City i 1969, og gjorde den ferdig i London på midten av 1970-tallet. Men kofferten med originalene forsvant, og var borte i mer enn tjue år før den dukket opp igjen i Oslo i 2002. Originaltegningene ble stilt ut ved Berlin-biennalen for samtidskunst og Sydney-biennalen, i 2008. Soft City regnes som et av Pushwagners hovedverk.

”Soft City er en dystopisk fugl Føniks, en knugende fremtidsskildring av imploderende institusjoner og en av de mest imponerende tegneserier som har sett morgendagens lys”. -Lech Ostrakowski
