Sikoryak is the master of the pop culture pastiche. In \u003ci\u003eMasterpiece Comics\u003c\/i\u003e, he interpreted classic literature with defining twentieth-century comics. With\u003ci\u003e Terms and Conditions\u003c\/i\u003e, he made the unreadable contract that everyone signs, and no one reads, readable. He employs his magic yet again to investigate the very framework of the country with \u003ci\u003eConstitution Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e. By visually interpreting the complete text of the supreme law of the land with more than a century of American pop culture icons, Sikoryak distills the very essence of the government legalese from the abstract to the tangible, the historical to the contemporary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmong Sikoryak's spot-on unions of government articles and amendments with famous comic-book characters: the Eighteenth Amendment that instituted prohibition is articulated with Homer Simpson running from Chief Wiggum; the Fourteenth Amendment that solidifies citizenship to all people born and naturalized in the United States is personified by Ms. Marvel; and, of course, the Nineteenth Amendment offering women the right to vote is a glorious depiction of Wonder Woman breaking free from her chains. American artists from George Herriman (\u003ci\u003eKrazy Kat\u003c\/i\u003e) and Charles Schulz (\u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e) to Raina Telgemeier (\u003ci\u003eSisters\u003c\/i\u003e) and Alison Bechdel (\u003ci\u003eDykes to Watch Out For\u003c\/i\u003e) are homaged, with their characters reimagined in historical costumes and situations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe the People has never been more apt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e R.
