520 8  R. Sikoryak is the master of the pop culture pastiche. In 
       'Masterpiece Comics', he interpreted classic literature 
       with defining twentieth-century comics. With 'Terms and 
       Conditions', he made the unreadable contract that everyone
       signs, and no one reads, readable. He employs his magic 
       yet again to investigate the very framework of the country
       with 'Constitution Illustrated'. By visually interpreting 
       the complete text of the supreme law of the land with more
       than a century of American pop culture icons, Sikoryak 
       distills the very essence of the government legalese from 
       the abstract to the tangible, the historical to the 
       contemporary. Among Sikoryak s spot-on unions of 
       government articles and amendments with famous comic-book 
       characters: the Eighteenth Amendment that instituted 
       prohibition is articulated with Homer Simpson running from
       Chief Wiggum; the Fourteenth Amendment that solidifies 
       citizenship to all people born and naturalized in the 
       United States is personified by Ms. Marvel; and, of course,
       the Nineteenth Amendment offering women the right to vote 
       is a glorious depiction of Wonder Woman breaking free from
       her chains. American artists from George Herriman (Krazy 
       Kat) and Charles Schulz (Peanuts) to Raina Telgemeier 
       (Sisters) and Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For) are 
       homaged, with their characters reimagined in historical 
       costumes and situations. We the People has never been more
       apt.
