2008 - Ben Heine

.
These are the 4 illustrations I did for Mike Palecek's book "Iowa Terror", which is now published and available. More information on this book. More information on Mike Palecek.

"Terror warnings on TV, terror music on the radio. Kate Smith singing. God Bless America! We must really be in trouble. Right? It is unique, political comedy, satire, anti-war - in George W. Bush’s America -telling the truth for once in America about who are the real terrorists."

See the 4 illustrations individually :

- Decaf Candidates

- Scarecrow Securing the US

- Terror Watcher in Iowa

- Democrats Hunting Democrats

Note: The cover at the top is by Russell Brutsche
