Tom Hayden, close observer of US foreign policy since the early 1960s, offers his wisdom on Afghanistan, seen here through the artistry of two young comics creators and editor Paul Buhle, founder of the New Left journal RADICAL AMERICA.
Paul Buhle, from Madison, Wisconsin, is retired from Brown University and produces nonfiction comics.
Tom Hayden was a leader of the student, civil rights, peace and environmental movements of the 1960s. He served 18 years in the California legislature, where he chaired labor, higher education and natural resources committees. He is the author and editor of twenty books, including the recently published "Inspiring Participatory Democracy: Student Movements from Port Huron to Today" (Paradigm, 2012). He has taught most recently at UCLA, Scripps College, Pitzer College, Occidental College, and the Harvard Institute of Politics.
Sam Marlow was born and raised in New York City. He graduated in 2008 from the school of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied 2D animation and comic book illustration. In 2009 he co-curated the volunteer show at The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art, entitled "Meanwhile... At 594 Broadway." In 2011, he collaborated with Ellis Rosen on a short story about Aaron Lansky and the recovery of Yiddish literature in the graphic novel "Yiddishkeit." From 2009 to 2012 he worked as an animator, editor and producer for an advertising company in Manhattan. Since then, he has been working to complete animated segments for a documentary about plant diversity, entitled "The Inheritance of Loss."
Ellis J. Rosen is a contributor, along with Sam Marlow, to the Eisner-nominated graphic anthology "Yiddishkeit: Jewish Vernacular and the New Land," edited by Harvey Pekar and Paul Buhle. He has just completed work which will be seen in the forthcoming movie "Diving Normal," based on the award-winning play by Ashlin Halfnight. He has done several comic adaptations (with Marlow) of speeches by Tom Hayden. His satiric look at contemporary life, "The Shadow's Nose," as well as his other works, are available for your enjoyment at ellisrosen.com.
