Publisher's Synopsis

The signature creation of cartoonist Roger Langridge, Fred the Clown is the thinking man's idiot. He has an eye for the ladies, as well as several other organs, but they are only willing to offer him a carefully placed kneecap. His foolish misadventures are a curious balance of bleakness and joyful absurdism, that can be traced back through Monty Python, The Goon Show and as far back as Lewis Carroll. Underlying it all is Langridge's meticulous brush style.

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.
