Publisher's Synopsis

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 is the very first time that the work of one of comicdom's major legacies is presented in a fine art tome. Includes essays by Wolverton's artist son, Monte Wolverton, and art writer Doug Harvey.'
