...history is any guide, Cheney is going to pay a price for this. These kinds of accidents have a way of sticking with a politician and even if the vice president has indicated that he'll never seek office again, the birdshot episode is likely to be used by comics as a metaphor for a trigger-happy vice president who rushed us in to war-and can't shoot straight.

Fifth in a line of upscale comic books that the co-publishers hope will fill the gap between more cheaply produced pamphlets and pricey full-length books, the other authors in this "Ignatz" series have all been Europeans until now. Huizenga hails from Illinois and creates the most suburban comix to be found in the alternative market. His regular series Or Else has been reviewed by TIME.comix, and he specializes in small-scale narratives of riding bikes...
