Norton & Company	0393060454	$19.95	From the "Father of Graphic Novels', this book presents - in a format similar to a cartoon - a look at the hateful forgery that is accepted as fact in SO much of the world today. According to the 'Protocols', the Jews (AND the Freemasons) are plotting to take over the world. Eisner traces the roots of this, the most famous of conspiracy theories. Even the debunking of the myth in this format will not, I'm afraid, cause bigots to release their hatred. Your local library should have this book. READ IT! - Ed King
