For over a hundred years, revolutionaries have referred to anarchism as “The Beautiful Idea”—and that appellation is the title of Portland-based artist @nobonzo's first comic book, which might itself be set a hundred years in the future. An ode to the spirit of rebellion, the story follows a Hansel and Gretel-esque pair of children who stumble across a cabin deep in the woods beyond their decaying city. But instead of a sugary trap, this house is filled with anarchist artifacts, an enduring archive of anti-authoritarian optimism.
Whether treated as a finished work or coloring book, “The Beautiful Idea” is a gorgeous artifact suitable for all ages. Find yourself a copy on our website at https://firestorm.coop/products/20809-the-beautiful-idea.html.
