Action Philosophers!

I recently discovered a new comic book called Action Philosophers!. I bought this issue:



It begins by discussing Freud's theories on how our consciousnesses work and his psychoanalysis. Moving forward, we meet Carl Jung and learn how his disagreements with Freud left their friendship riven in twain. Readers then get the lowdown on Jung's work - all those archetypes'n'such. We are then treated to a look at Jung's influence on Joseph Campbell and the resulting ideas of his on heroes & myth. Good stuff! Plus it's quite humorous. The All-Sex Special and World Dominiation Handbook issues look quite amusing. Their rendition of Machiavelli looks to be classic.
