The Mueller Report Gets A Graphic Novel From Shannon Wheeler and Steve Duin At IDW
by Olly MacNamee
Shannon Wheeler, Eisner Award-winning New Yorker cartoonist (Too Much Coffee Man, Sh*t My President Says, God is Disappointed in You), and veteran journalist Steve Duin (The Oregonian, Comics: Between the Panels, Oil and Water) are turning their attention and critical eye on the Mueller Report with a new graphic novel version of the report as they see it, from IDW.
Fight the spin spewing forth from both parties and political pulpits and check out this graphic novel that brings a 400-page legal document down to size. Wheeler and Duin, in graphic form, bring to life scenes detailed in the report: from the infamous Trump Tower Meeting of 2016 to Trump exclaiming “I’m f*cked” upon finding out he was the subject of investigation. It’s in the report and it’s in the graphic novel!
What’s more, it’s presented as though it’s a classic private detective yarns, complete with a villain’s rogues’ gallery, nail-biting cliffhangers, and a lone lawman standing proud against the wave of crime. And, I think we know who the villain in this piece is, right?
But, hold your breath some more, as it won’t be available until April 2020, the year your new President (or existing one) will be voted upon one more time.
