Karl Marx’s Life and Legacy, in aComicby Maria Popova

From the opium of the masses to the downfall ofcapitalism, by way of love and revolution.

The history of our species is rife with

ideologies — political, religious, social,

philosophical — that have been either wholly

hijacked from their creators or gradually

warped, with only fragments of the original

vision intact, doomed to being continually

misunderstood by posterity.

On the heels of the excellent graphic

biography of Freud, British indie press Nobrow

is back with Marx (public library) by Swiss

writer, economist, historian, and

psychoanalyst Corinne Maier and French

illustrator Anne Simon — an illuminating chronicle of the life and legacy of

a man at once reviled as “the Devil” for denouncing capitalism and

celebrated for his ideals of eradicating inequality, injustice, and exploitation

from the world. More than the sum total of his political legacy, Marx’s story

is also one of great personal turmoil and tragedy, inner conflict, and moral

tussle — subtleties that the comic genre, with its gift for stripping

complexities to their simplest truths without losing dimension, reveals with

great sensitivity and insight.
