Twenty-Four Times Two. The author of David Chelsea In Love and Perspective! picks up Scott McCloud's ball and runs with it in these two 24-Hour comics stories. In ""Everybody Gets It Wrong"" David makes the argument that all autobiographical comics produced so far, including his own, falsify experience because they show the author as one of the characters rather than telling the story as seen from his own eyes. Putting theory into practice, David illustrates a number of dreams from his diary while strictly keeping to the dreamer's point of view. ""Sleepless"" takes this method further, telling a richly stippled story of lava lamps, time travel, and a mysterious lady cartoonist in blue velvet through the eyes of a lead character who is never shown. [David Chelsea]
The Elder's death squad hits the shores of America bringing a wave of butchery that will have even the most bloodthirsty vampire's knees knocking. Meanwhile, in Buffalo New York, Rufus's plans to blend in hit a snag when his nightly feedings begin to attract too much attention. On top of that, he may have bitten off more than he can chew with the now cleaned-up Sarafina, whose big mouth is getting Rufus in one awkward situation after another. Going cold turkey on blood is a near impossible task for any vampire, but on top of that having to be... nice to his neighbors? Something's got to break. Find out what in chapter two of David Lapham's 30 Days tale, "Hunger Pangs." [David Lapham (W & A & C)]

For more than a half century, David Levine has taken on the most powerful men of the free world with only his pen and a bottle of India ink. That pen has proved to be mightier than the sword as Levine skewered, illuminated, satirized and condemned every president of the 20th century, as well as the most significant presidents from colonial times and the Civil War era. His drawing of Lyndon Johnson revealing a scar in the shape of Vietnam is considered one of the most recognized (and most copied) of the Vietnam era. His devastating wit and delicately cross hatched drawing have exposed the venality of the Nixon administration, the phoniness of the Reagan years, the duplicity of the Clinton era, and the evil of the Bush cabal.Nine administrations have come and gone during Levine's tenure, and with a new one on the horizon, the artist remains, unbowed, unfazed, and unrelenting. Now for the first time, the best of Levine's five decades of portraits of American Presidents and their administrations are gathered in a comprehensive and visually dynamic book. From John Adams to George Bush; from John Quincy Adams to George W. Bush; from the Great Emancipator to the Great Society, Levine has captured them all including present day candidates John McCain and Barack Obama. David Levine is internationally renowned for his incisive caricatures of world figures in literature, politics, and the arts. For 45 years his work appeared in every issue of the New York Review of Books, and his drawings have been reproduced in Time, Newsweek, Esquire, Playboy, The New Yorker, New York Magazine, The Nation, and many other publications. Levine is perhaps the most influential caricaturists of the late twentieth century. [David Levine]
