Bill Mauldin: A Life Up Front (W.W. Norton)

“A deeply felt, vivacious and wonderfully illustrated biography.”  -Clancy Sigal, Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Vibrant, moving, and full of wonderful cartoons, DePastino’s book breathes life into a fascinating American genius.” — Chris Patsilelis, Philadelphia Inquirer 

“DePastino’s bio serves not only as an appreciation of Mauldin’s artistry but also as a complex portrait of an iconoclast who started out as the Greatest Generation’s court jester but grew to become its conscience.” — Bob Cannon, Entertainment Weekly

 

Willie & Joe: The WWII Years(Fantagraphics Books)

“Bill Mauldin was my first artist hero . . . [Willie & Joe: The WWII Years] reminds me why.”— Steven Heller, The New York Times Book Review

“The collection is a sensory delight, pleasing to touch and beautiful to see. … For the winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, for the man who was once America’s most celebrated enlisted man, Willie & Joe is a fitting, and wonderful, tribute.” —David Mitchell, BiblioBuffet

“There’s a sad wisdom on virtually every page here.”— Jeff Salamon, The Austin American-Statesman

“These gritty, existential cartoons—everything Mauldin published during the war that still exists is compiled here—are the real deal and then some.”—Laurel Maury, NPR
