Publishers Weekly Reviews THE STRINGER
Good morning,
Just wanted to let you know that my new graphic novel THE STRINGER (“Breaking Bad” meets journalism) has received another positive review, this one from Publishers Weekly. The book is now available for pre-order and looks gorgeous. I am also available for interviews, as is Pablo Callejo, the illustrator.

The Stringer
April 21, 2021
Ted Rall’s most recent graphic novel with Pablo Callejo is ripped from the headlines.
Suffering from budget cuts, layoffs, and a growing suspicion that his search for the truth has become obsolete, veteran war correspondent Mark Scribner is about to throw in the towel on journalism when he discovers that his hard-earned knowledge can save his career and make him wealthy and famous. All he has to do is pivot to social media and, with a few cynical twists, abandon everything he cares about most. Artwork is by Pablo “Bluesman” Callejo. Rall wrote the text.
Graphic Novel, 2021

THE STRINGER now Available for Pre-Order
I am excited to announce that my next graphic novel collaboration with the brilliant Spanish illustrator Pablo Callejo is now available for pre-order. Long time readers will recall that Pablo was the illustrator of my graphic memoir “The Year of Loving Dangerously,” which is currently in development to become a possible TV series.
THE STRINGER, written by your favorite cartoonist and occasional war correspondent, he’s ripped from the headlines and anticipates the brave new world of fake news and deep fake video. It’s a love letter to journalism, a story with a double twist ending and, as always, a deeply personal and political take on the state of the world today. I’m extremely proud of it.
Of course you can wait to order the book directly from me or from your local independent bookstore but if you pre-order from Amazon you will directly impact the overall success of the book because of the outsized impact of Amazon pre-orders. I’ll leave the ethics of book buying to you. Thanks for reading!
