Kieron Dwyer Political Cartoons to be Collected at Image, UNPRESIDENTED

Election season is nearly upon us and fan-favorite political cartoonist, Kieron Dwyer, is collecting his satirical strips in a hardcover titled, Unpresidented, at Image Comics.

The book will take aim at the hypocrisy, greed, stupidity and cultural chaos in what has been dubbed, ‘The Age of Trump’. It will feature a range of witty illustrations in lampooning the bizarre course of American politics and culture since 2015.

“Even as a young kid, I’ve always been drawn to editorial and political cartoons, both in style and substance. The exaggerated and loose qualities of them appealed to me much in the same way that the work of Mort Drucker and Jack Davis did in MAD Magazine,” said Dwyer. “The economy of information in an excellent editorial cartoon is, in my opinion, the highest form of graphic storytelling. In most ways, that is what I strive for in all my illustration work: simplicity and essence, true communication. Even before my professional comics career, my first published works were the editorial cartoons I did for my high school newspapers, both the official one and the anti-establishment underground one put out by myself and several friends. I feel I’ve just been refining that storytelling craft my entire life, but events over the last few years have had a catalytic effect on me and compelled me to express my feelings in this particular medium.”

Unpresidented lands on bookshelves on Wednesday, April 29, 2020.
