Hardback. It would seem that modern humanity has unthroned the human spirit, undercutting the foundation of the validity of truth, moral values and principles.

Hardback. Philosophy, art criticism and popular opinion all seem to treat the aesthetics of the comic as lightweight, while the tragic seems to be regarded with greater seriousness.
