RUSS KICK is the originator of The Graphic Canon series, for which he has commissioned new work from over 350 artists and illustrators, now going into its sixth volume. NPR described it as "Easily the most ambitious and successfully realized literary project in recent memory." Kick's previous anthologies, You Are Being Lied To and Everything You Know Is Wrong, informed a whole generation of Americans with the hard truths of American politics and created a media frenzy for being the first to publish suppressed photographs of American flag-draped coffins returning from Iraq. The New York Times dubbed Kick "an information archaeologist," Details magazine described him as "a Renaissance man," and Utne Reader named him one of its "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World." His popular website, thememoryhole2.org, is active again and getting national media coverage for archiving documents that the Trump Administration has been deleting.
