Book review:
“Wally’s World opens on Halloween night, 1981, in a seedy world of pornographers and drug addicts, with a mysterious death by.44 on the outskirts of Hollywood. The victim was Wallace Wood, a rebel genius of pop art and the artist who inspired underground cartoonists R. Crumb, Art Spiegelman, and countless others. Wood rose to the pinnacle of pop-culture fame as MAD’s first star artist and as a cutting-edge science-fiction illustrator. But Wallace Wood had his demons. This dramatic cultural biography, packed with more than 150 of Wood’s astounding, disturbing artworks, tells his story and, in the process, the history of comic books from the Depression through the 1980s.”
It’s a absolute Gem of a book and also fairly hard to find in this hard back limited edition version. Very generous for us to be giving this away… But fear not we had a spare copy lying around just for you lucky people.
If you just can’t be bothered to enter or don’t want to wait until the 1st of April to see if you have won, you can purchase the paperback version from Amazon here: Wally’s World: The Brilliant Life and Tragic Death of the World’s Second Best Comic Book Artist
Welldone to Jonathan Wagner from Cape Town, who won last months competition. The book has now been dispatch. Enjoy!
For all of those who missed out, thanks for entering. Please feel free to try your luck again and stay tuned for more monthly giveaways, only at the Lounge. :)
