Publisher's Synopsis

This book collects Wood's early gag cartoons for men's magazines, including his wicked takes on Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz plus his raunchy version of Snow White. Wood, who garnered international fame as a premier parodist for Mad, also takes aim at comic-book icons in such stories as 'Prince Violate', 'Stuporman Meets Blunder Woman', and 'Flasher Gordon'. Wood's cartoon commentaries on sex and society are included too. Other rarities include The Marquis de Sade Coloring Book, amongst other things.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
