In Messiahs- Meshugganahs- Misanthropes & Mysteries- Bob Levin- with his characteristic open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity- enters into and investigates the artistic sensibilities of cartoonists as disparate as Vaughn Bode- R. Crumb- S. Clay Wilson- Trina Robbins- Johnny Craig- Guy Colwell- Edward Gorey- Harvey Kurtzman- Frank Frazetta- Art Spiegelman- Alex Toth- and Dave Sim. For nearly four decades- Levin has been weaving strands of critical opinion- historical research- pop cultural analysis- journalism’s five Ws- biography- memoir- and the occasional tasty fiction into a never-before-seen-on-this-planet basket- which has made his writings on comics unique and indispensable. So if you want to learn what really happened to Ghastly Ingels- or The Someday Funnies- or the “Keep On Truckin’” copyright – if you dare to confront art that provoked criminal conviction and Senatorial investigation- and which led to a trashed art gallery- a vandalized museum – even a ban by the “Berkeley Barb” – this book is for you.
