The hilarious spaghetti-and-meatball style caricature art of Basil Wolverton has been a huge influence on such art luminaries as Robert Crumb, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, Robert Williams, and Drew Friedman. This publication of represents the very first time that the work of one of comicdom's major legacies is presented in a fine art tome. The entire book is photographed in full color from the original artwork. The majority of the work has never been published before. Includes essays by Glenn Bray, Basil's son and an artist, Monte Wolverton, and art writer Doug Harvey.

Drew Friedman: I hate this cliché, but it's true: Basil Wolverton's work BLEW MY MIND!!! He's the main inspiration for me to do what I do AND the first to appreciate the beauty in ugliness...I even love his name!
