There are stories that deal with advanced technology, a return to nature, alien contact, and even time travel. Themes include inclusivity, environmentalism, gender relations, and exploration.

A Best Book of the Year by: NPR, New York Public Library, Vulture, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal In this acclaimed graphic memoir and “moving tale of fathers and their sons” (Grant Morrison, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Eisner Award-winning writer and artist Michael Kupperman traces the life of his reclusive father—the once-world-famous Joel Kupperman, Quiz Kid. That his father is slipping into dementia means that the past he would never talk about might be erased forever. Joel Kupperman became one of the most famous children in America during World War II as one of the young geniuses on the series Quiz Kids. With the uncanny ability to perform complex math problems in his head, Joel endeared himself to audiences across the country and became a national obsession. Following a childhood spent in the public eye, only to then fall victim to the same public’s derision, Joel deliberately spent the remainder of his life removed from the world at large. With wit and heart, Michael Kupperman presents a fascinating account of mid-century radio and early television history, the pro-Jewish propaganda entertainment used to counteract anti-Semitism, and the early age of modern celebrity culture. All the Answers is both a powerful father-son story and “an electrifyingly fast-paced, yet intimate memoir about family secrets and the price children can pay for their parents’ ambitions” (Publishers Weekly).

Michael Kupperman's second all-comics collection of surreal slapstick and crazy non-sequitur goofiness, all from the pages of his beloved comic book series Tales Designed to Thrizzle! Twain and Einstein, Snake and Bacon, and other recurring characters such as Jungle Princess, make their comedic return in Kupperman’s collected comic book.

Summary: "In the late 1990s, Michael Kupperman bought a stack of men's magazines from the 1950s and 1960s. On examining them, he discovered that their original owner had tampered with them, using the contents to form his own hybrid magazines. This reordering, censoring and selecting, made the sensation-crazed originals even stranger. Pirate Nightmare Vice Explosion presents highlights from that collection, and takes place in a murky, monochromatic world where mysterious, energetic sin is always happening behind closed doors. Some of it is factual; some of it smells of heady invention."--Page 4 of cover.
