Add to cart Near Mint $8.00

1st printing. Story and art by Ted Rall. Part graphic novel travelog, part tongue-in-cheek travel guide, here are the adventures of caustic cartoonist Rall in the wild and wooly central Asian countries, a powder keg sitting on tomorrow's oil. Combines articles with comics chapters relating his experiences retracing the old legendary Silk Road starting with the sublime history of China and ending in the absurdity of the petty dictatorships of the "The 'Stans" where Rall had the temerity - or was it blustery stupidity? - to go back, including once with a group of listeners to his radio show, on a dare. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 304 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.99.
