...rampage, exposing viewers young and old to lunatic rantings like “no no no” and “let me finish,” and explicitly terming Wallace’s balanced inquisitions a “hit job” (perhaps the most graphic two-word “job” ever performed on the former president). Fox chief Roger Ailes was, like most decent Americans, taken aback by Clinton’s “wild overreaction.” Ailes took a charitable view of the incident, characterizing...
...that define territory, right?" says Huyghe of his metaphor. "But as the doors are moving, and there are no walls, then what is inside and what is outside becomes very blurry." Huyghe (pronounced, roughly, wheeg) revels in such border bashing. His work in photography, film, music, sculpture, architecture, puppetry, graphics and "events" defies the usual boundaries between the disciplines. And it probes other frontiers: contemporary ones like copyright and community, eternal ones like time and space, image and reality, and, yes, the meaning of art. "Being an artist means asking questions about the reality of existence," says the intense...
...WHAT IT HAS ACTUALLY DONE Has run graphic and misleading television ads against Republican Senators George Allen and Rick Santorum, funded with regulated contributions to VoteVets' political-action committee, suggesting their votes against a Democratic funding measure deprived U.S. troops of modern body armor.

...works take different approaches: The Pride of Baghdad (DC/Vertigo; 128 pages; $20), written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Niko Henrichorn, examines the moral ambiguities of the Iraq War through a fictional account of four lions wandering the bombed-out streets of Baghdad; The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation (Hill and Wang; $17), by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon, has become a surprise hit, touching a nerve on the fifth anniversary of the attacks. Though one book uses fiction and the other fact, both are interested in finding new ways for comix to explore current events...
...better or worse. For the better it avoids messy editorializing. For the worse it loses the engagement of telling a single story. It begins with what journalists call a "tick-tock," a minute-by-minute accounting of the hijacking of the planes. Cleverly, Jacobson and Colon use the graphic abilities of the form to show each plane's story in four parallel timelines running across the pages. The appalling lack of communication can thus be seen on a single page as United 93, delayed on the ground by nearly 45 minutes, only receives warning of multiple hijackings at the same...
