Peter Kuper is the Eisner Award–winning author of Ruins and the critically acclaimed graphic adaptations of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. A regular contributor to The New Yorker, The Nation, and Charlie Hebdo, Kuper is also the co-founder of the long-running political comics anthology World War 3 Illustrated. Since 1997, he has written and drawn Mad Magazine’s iconic Spy vs. Spy series. Kuper has exhibited and lectured around the world and teaches Harvard University’s first class dedicated to graphic novels and comics.
