Face — Michael Cart

Bold, innovative, and eclectic -- that's Rush Hour, the place for thought-provoking work from today's most distinguished voices, both established and new. “Face” is the captivating theme of Volume Three, and it goes far beyond skin deep to probe perceptions and reality, secrets and revelations.

In Rush Hour: Face, 20 writers and artists peer beneath the masks we wear in public -- and in private -- with startling results. You'll find striking stories by Aidan Chambers and K. L. Going, poetry by Marc Talbert and Jen Bryant, a graphic story by Eric Shanower, art by Harry Bliss and William Steig, and several rising stars here you won't want to miss.

This third issue pushes the boundaries of this unprecedented, pulsating journal, published twice a year and focused on themes today's readers care about most.
