A perfect book for the literary minded person wanting to venture into the world of graphic novels.

"Brunetti has gone beyond the obvious to create an anthology of what is truly the finest in comics," raves Publishers Weekly.

Long kept hidden away in the treasuries of avid comic collectors, Basil Wolverton's artwork has been heralded as a beacon for the stylistically cutting—edge, has been called grotesque or inspired in turns, and has reached truly diverse demographics—from Mad magazine fans to the denizens of the Worldwide Church of God evangelists. This collection includes the Old Testament illustrations Wolverton was commissioned to make, as well as previously unpublished artwork—all evocative, creepy and elegant, fascinating and meticulous. —Vanesa
