Introducing Marx - A Graphic Guide explores the life of the most famous Socialist figure, from his early years to meeting Engels in1842. It provides a readable, understandable biography of Karl Marx as well as a fundamental account of his original philosophy, its roots in 19th century European ideology, his radical economic and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 20th century revolutions.
'A superb little book in a most improbable format...I recommend it unreservedly for anyone who wants the rudiments of Marx from an engaging mentor...Rius on Marx is magnificent. He shows that pictures can amplify ideas, and that simplicity need not forgo subtlety.' New York Times Book Review
Rius still lives in Mexico and works as a cartoonist.
