A release party for the 25th Anniversary Issue of World War 3 Illustrated is slated for Thursday October 6th at the Exit Art gallery in New York City.   Co-founded by Seth Tobocman and Peter Kuper, WW3 has become a premiere platform for political art and the latest issue, World War 3: #36 'Neo Con' does not disappoint.  Edited by Ryan Inzana and Peter Kuper the new release features a wraparound cover by Sue Coe and articles and comics by 'the usual gang of agitators' including Eric Drooker, Seth Tobocman, Sabrina Jones, Mac Mcgill, Ryan Inzana, James Romberger, Chuck Sperry, Nicole Shulman, and Spain Rodriguez, who illustrates a nine-page story by Justin Wertham.

Special highlights of the Neo Con issue include Joe Sacco's account as an embedded journalist in Iraq and Eric Laursen's article on the history of the Neo Cons.  For the first time in its history WW3 includes a color section with a new installment of Peter Kuper's Richie Bush comics and Penny Allen's War is Hell, a photo comic assembled from photos taken by an American sgt. in Iraq, with his running commentary.  World War 3 Illustrated #36: Neo Cons is 64 pages with a cover price of $5 and is available from Top Shelf Productions, FM International, and Diamond Comic Distributors.
