Publisher's Synopsis

Foolbert Funnies collects comics - inspired by Stack's pop-culture-filled childhood and travails as a fine arts professor - that ran in National Lampoon and other publications. In this volume you will find adventuress Dirty Diana; nostalgic time traveller Frank Crankcase; politician Paddy Booshwah and a host of Amazonians, artists and pulp heroes. Foolbert Funnies is a fitting tribute to a Texan who has quietly been creating some of the most recognisable comic canons of the last 40 years.

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.
