Titans of Finance (published by Alternative Comics) is a nonfiction comic book about money and business. The stories collected in its pages — stories of outsized egos, astonishing hubris, shameless greed — are not only true, they’re too good to be made up. It’s a new and groundbreaking merger of reality — straight from the business pages — and comix: True tales from the world of big money, filtered through America's most populist medium. Here is a sample Titans story. In October 2002, Titans artist Josh Neufeld put on a suit, a sandwich board, and (briefly) a fright wig to sell issues on Wall Street at Ralph Nader's "Crackdown on Corporate Crime Rally." Read his account. Thanks to everyone who bought copies of Titans at The New Orleans Book Fair, also in October 2002, and congratulations to the organizers on this first-rate event. Thanks also to the folks with The Autonomadic Bookmobile for buying some copies |

Here’s
what others have said about Titans of Finance:
|
|
|
"A
brilliant use of the medium." "These
accounts of the lives of the sometimes rich
and frequently unscrupulous hit the mark with
their irony and sharp observations." "Dissections
of executive arrogance and mismanagement.
… Superman never pounded businessmen-gone-bad
the way Titans of Finance does." "Sharp
and fearless. The comic book is hilarious
— or it would be if it weren't all true.
Recommended reading." "I
have always been fascinated by the men behind
the curtain, the actual
faces that make up faceless corporations. Titans of Finance is an amazing and much needed work that shows that the machine is made not only made of real people, but made of really odd people. My only complaint is that I didn't think of it first." — Rich Mackin, author of Dear Mr. Mackin "Junk
finance, with pictures." "A
delightful book, fascinating reading, and
an amazing accomplishment. A+." "Strange." "A
tad preachy at times." "A
fine antidote to the free-enterprise hype
ladled out by ‘capitalist tool’
media outlets like Forbes and Money. …
Hilarious."
