Leopoldo Mendez by Deborah Caplow (2007, Hardcover)

This book is beautifully designed, heavy, magnificent illustrations and visual text, linked to the most poignant comparisons including the Kollwitz, Posada, Grosz that bring Mendez into his true "black cartoonist" tradition heights! The work encourages the rediscovery, reaffirmation of another great spirit whose art aimed to merge compassion, rage against inhumanity, and creative imagery in the most profound proportions. For those who crave kindred spirits concerned with justice, human bonds, and the use of compelling graphic creativity whose works nourish the yearning of what is possible in an inspired world, this book is a must.
