This classic text, first published in English in 1976, was a huge international bestseller, the breakthrough brainchild of the legendary Mexican cartoonist Rius. He proved that the comic book format could be serious and informative as well as entertaining, by creating the friendliest book ever published on an indigestible subject, Karl Marx.



'Rius on Marx is magnificent. He shows that pictures can amplify ideas, and that simplicity need not forgo subtlety.' - New York Times Book Review
