Storytelling is thus a pivotal aspect of his graphic, eye-catching works, inspired as much by the satirical prints of Honor? Daumier as by the history paintings of Jacob Lawrence and the pulp novels and comic books of McCarthyist America. As Gibson explains, \"I am constantly reminded in every news cycle that we are entwined in a history of unfinished stories and plot points.\" Employing caricature, pop culture, horror and a dash of illusion, Gibson blends up two centuries of American history, from Manifest Destiny to the Biden era, serving it back to us with a raucous, caustic flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Gibson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037646268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037646267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jrp Ringier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mark Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685848600831,"sku":"9783037646267","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_498ab9a9-d0d4-4213-a252-3f9bc88b4e45.jpg?v=1741726953","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mark-thomas-gibson-mark-gibson-9783037646267","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
