A graphic anthology with a unique hook: Syncopated collects the best in nonfiction by today’s most talented graphic artists
From Persepolis to The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation, the graphic medium has become a popular and provocative platform for nonfiction. This innovative, all-new nonfiction
anthology collects powerful memoirs, profiles, and reportage from gifted, up-andcoming creators.
Think of Syncopated as a New Yorker for the comics set: a collection of stimulating, eye-opening pieces on subjects political, historical, artistic, and personal.
Syncopated will take readers back in time to the glory days of old Coney Island and introduce them to fascinating personalities: graffiti artists, the inventor of the Dvorak keyboard,
and psychologist Erik Eriksen. It will open their eyes to pieces of forgotten history, such as the Tulsa Race Riots of 1921—and to new perspectives on critical current-day issues, such as the
interrogation of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. And it will immerse them in fascinating subcultures, such as the infamous chess players of New York City’s Washington Square Park.
Originally self-published to acclaim from comics fans, our relaunch of the Syncopated anthology series—withall-new material—is poised to bring this extraordinary work to a whole new
audience.
