Support the ACLU!
At HUMANOIDS we want to support ACLU by giving 100% of the profits from the following four books during the month of February.
So if you want to take a stand against ignorance, show your support for ACLU by Buying A Book! It's that simple! The titles are:
A genre-bending work of political science fiction, where the rulers of the future are haunted by the ghosts of the past… Written and illustrated in stunning color by Ukrainian green-card lottery winning creator Igor Baranko.
The travel diary of French two brothers in a land at war. Based on the siblings' real life experiences in war-torn Lebanon.
A unique and addictive anthropomorphic mystery with an intricate plot and an immigrant hero, rendered in stark black-and-white. Winner of best series at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2012.
According to Tobe Hooper "It's disgusting, fun and politically right on target!" A book full of alt-right nuts and rednecks who are way more dangerous that the peaceful living-impaired (just don't call them zombies!).
