An award-winning cartoonist, Kuper presents a visual tour through his career, from his recent graphic novel "Insectopolis: A Natural History," to work from The New Yorker, The Nation, and MAD magazine where he has written and illustrated SPY vs. SPY since 1997.

Kuper is the co-founder of "World War 3 Illustrated" a political graphics magazine and has produced over two dozen books including The System, Ruins, Wish We Weren't Here, and adaptations of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness as well as many of Franz Kafka's works into comics including The Metamorphosis and Kafkaesque. He teaches cartooning at Harvard University.

"Insectopolis" is an immersive work of graphic nonfiction, diving into a world where ants, cicadas, bees, and butterflies visit a library exhibition that displays their stories and humanity’s connection to them throughout the ages. Kuper’s thrilling visual feast layers history and science, color and design, to tell the remarkable tales of dung beetles navigating by the stars, hawk-size prehistoric dragonflies hunting prey, and mosquitoes changing the course of human history.

Kuper also illuminates pioneering naturalists, from well-known figures like E. O. Wilson and Rachel Carson to unheralded luminaries like Charles Henry Turner, the Black American scholar who documented arthropod intelligence, and Maria Sybilla Merian, the seventeenth-century German regarded as the mother of entomology.

Galvanized by the sixth extinction and the ongoing insect crisis, Kuper takes readers on an unforgettable journey.
