Publisher's Synopsis

The best-selling humour cartoonist of his generation, Bagge has been hailed as one of comics' great satirists, and The Bradleys one of his greatest legacies. Cited as an early influence for Groening's Simpsons, Pops, Mom, Buddy, Babs and Butch make up America's most dysfunctional family. Created during the 1980s while he was editing R. Crumb's Weirdo magazine, this volume is a collection of the very best work of an artist at the top of his game.

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.
