Looking for something to read this weekend? Download this sneak preview of the expanded and digital edition of The Beast: Making a Living on a Dying Planet.

This graphic novel is a collaboration between Ad Astra Comix and The Digital Press to make their remarkable work available, for free, to a wider audience. You can buy the paper original from Ad Astra Comix directly, if you live in Canada, or from AK Press in the U.S.

For our part of the deal, we teamed up with one of the project creators, Patrick McCurdy, to bring together three new essays, an interview, and an expanded preface to The Beast. You can check out the table of contents and the new preface here and stop by The Beast page at The Digital Press for the full – and FREE –  the release of the expanded, digital version!
