A New Edition Of A Thoughtful Bestseller — ‘Philosophy’ Is Back On Zoop

Margreet de Heer is a name American comic fans may be familiar with through her educational series Discoveries in Comics which came out at NBM over a decade ago. The series includes such titles as Philosophy, Science, and Religion. The first of those, Philosophy, is now being re-released through Zoop.

What is thinking? What is reality? Philosophers all through the ages have thought about these questions and you can think along with them through this fun, accessible graphic novel which lays out the fundamentals of Western philosophy for anyone who likes to think about thinking.

“I’m very proud of this book,” says De Heer, who has since gone on and became the first Comic Artist Laureate of The Netherlands, where she is based in the city of Amsterdam. “It is used in many schools and I’ve been asked if the physical version will be reprinted — through this crowdfunding I hope to make it internationally available once more.”

Over the past year De Heer has been releasing new pages of Philosophy through her Substack newsletter. “I have made changes to lettering and coloring and updated text where necessary. It was fun to go through the pages again and to get feedback from readers.” 

Subscribers of her mailing list will be the first to be notified and get the opportunity to take advantage of early bird specials and limited offers of original art and commissions.

“I’m very excited about this crowdfunding,” says de Heer, who has run several campaigns in her native Holland. “It will be my first international crowdfunding and I can’t wait to connect with fans and work together with the guys at Zoop to get this new Philosophy out into the world!”
