To celebrate D&S's 45th anniversary, former D&S art director Nick Thorkelson has made full-color prints of his amazing “Comic Strip of Neoliberalism” series published in the magazine in the early 2000s. The series was a collaboration with former D&S co-editor Alejandro Reuss. (For more info on the series, click here.)
There are three paired sets of 13” x 17” prints: “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “Neoliberalism vs. History,” and “Megadreams of Hyperdevelopment.” (Scroll down to see all three sets. Click to enlarge.)
We are offering signed prints for $45 per set or $100 for all three sets. (Prices include shipping within the United States.) To place orders, visit this page.
