Studs Terkel's Working: A Graphic Adaptation

Pages
208

A New Press graphic adaptation of Studs Terkel's oral history Working, with various artists illustrating interviews from the original book. The visual styles vary widely, which is both the project's strength and its unevenness. The book is a tribute rather than a replacement. The New Press paperback is the standard trade size, with a cover that promises labor history in pictures. The New Press issued it in paperback because the subject matter works better passed between readers than displayed on a coffee table. Ideal reader: the reader who wants Terkel's voices in a new register, or the comics fan who believes that waitressing, mining, and domestic labor deserve the panel treatment.
