"GPO serves the communication needs of the federal government, and a comic book is a great way to communicate with young people," said Public Printer Bob Tapella. "Through the talents of Jim Cameron and Nick Crawford, GPO is able to create a publication that conveys the message that printing is an important component to the history of the world and to our nation."
The GPO is the federal government's primary centralized resource for gathering, cataloging, producing, providing, authenticating and preserving published U.S. government information in all its forms. GPO is responsible for the production and distribution of information products and services for all three branches of the federal government. In addition to publication sales, GPO makes government information available at no cost to the public through GPO's Federal Digital System (www.fdsys.gov) and through partnerships with approximately 1,220 libraries nationwide participating in the Federal Depository Library Program.
