Relive the year's history-making events with Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year: 1986 Edition. Since 1973, this series has showcased the talents of leading editorial cartoonists form the United States and Canada. This year's volume presents more than 350 noteworthy cartoons from 133 cartoonists, including the top prize-winners of 1985.
Congressman Jack Kemp, a frequent target of editorial pens, contributed the forward for this year's edition. He notes that editorial cartooning is vital to a free press and in preserving history, commenting that no one has ever seen a cartoon poking fun at Mikhail Gorbachev in Pravda or Krokodil, and that fact speaks volumes about the Soviet system.
Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year is widely recognized as the definitive compendium of leading cartoonists' views of national and international issues. Acclaimed as a concise yet far-ranging pictorial history, Publishers Weekly calls it a great way to get the gut feeling of a year's history.
The 1986 edition continues the history of excellence established in previous volumes. This year the cartoonists focus their rapier wit on such topics as the Regan administration, international terrorism, crime, the AIDS scare, airline safety, and national defense issues such as Star Wars.
