blackriver Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The second book in the awesome WIZZYWIG series has been released! It can be ordered for the ridiculously small fee of $15, and for that you get a beautiful graphic novel filled to the brim with hacker culture. I haven't actually got my copy yet (the book has just been released) but I loved WIZZYWIG #1 and I'm sure the Hak5 crowd will as well. http://www.edpiskor.com/wizzy2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 The second book in the awesome WIZZYWIG series has been released!

You can read the first 51 pages on the site if you like. I skimmed through it but I'm waiting for my copy to really soak it up. Ed Piskor does the hack/phreak community a lot of justice with his amazing Wizzywig series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Looks good. I've just ordered books 1 & 2 and I'm hoping they'll be here in time for Christmas break so I can kick back and read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiyentai Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Congrats on the second book man! Still need to get the first lol. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Mine arrived yesterday and they look great, looking forward to getting some time to actually read them! Constructive criticism would be the image size though, there seems to be a whitespace border of about 4cm all around the page, it feels a little too much and if it was less, the image could be larger, and therefore easier to read. That's not a big deal, and it's probably just me getting old and needing glasses! but I thought I'd mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Piskor Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing had some cool stuff to say about the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackriver Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 I just finished the second book two days ago. I stand by my statement that this is an absolute MUST for anybody who digs hacking and comics. Ed Piskor combines hacking, storytelling and art in a manner that would make any hacker, cracker, phreak or even lamer go absolutely woot. It's a piece of hacker culture. GET. THIS. BOOK!
