For Beginners^® books are a documentary, graphic non-fiction series

Every book in the series serves one purpose: to present to the reader in a straightforward, accessible manner the works of great thinkers and subjects alike. With subjects ranging from philosophy, to politics, to art and beyond, the For Beginners^® series covers a range of familiar concepts in a humorous comic book-style, and takes a readily comprehensible approach that respects the intelligence of its audience. This series is for those who want to know more about a subject, but don’t want to get bogged down in dry facts. Each book is painstakingly researched, written and illustrated in a style that best suits the subject.

Dedicated to Glenn Thompson, the inventor and the inspiration for the series.
