The More Than Complete Action Philosophers by Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey

Comic books are now called "graphic novels," but this one is not a novel; it is a survey of philosophy that takes the reader lightly through the major Western philosophers from the pre-Socratics to the present. The presentation and illustrations are amusing, but you can still get lost in the technicalities of philosophic thought. I have a particularly hard time with Kant and Wittgenstein, but for reviewing many other philosophers this book is excellent.
