Grateful Dead Comix Hardcover HC 1992 Kitchen Sink Press Hyperion Jerry Garcia
Published by Kitchen Sink Press / Hyperion, 1992
Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: As New. Tim Truman, Nina Paley, Frank Gresham, Wayno, Dan Steffan, Rand Holmes, Dan Burr, Fred Carlson, Mary Fleener, Pat Redding (illustrator). 1st Edition. A serious deadhead's dream! A beautiful hardcover collection of Grateful Dead Comix, published in 1992 by Kitchen Sink Press (longtime underground comix publishers of R. Crumb and countless other alternative cartoonists). This hardcover book features a beautiful silver embossed deadhead skull (with a pen and brush forming the crossbones) in the center of the cover. This "bas relief" art was created by Peter (Superman, Batman) Poplaski. The contents (all in full color) include comix based on Grateful Dead songs, behind-the-scenes accounts about the band, such as "The Lille Story" and artist's personal accounts. The comix are drawn by top artists like Tim Truman, Rand (Harold Hedd) Holmes, Terry (Cud) LaBan, Nina Paley, Wayno (Beer Nuts), Dan (Dope Comix) Steffan, Dean (Death Rattle) Armstrong, Reed Waller & Kate Worley (Omaha), Dan (Kings in Disguise) Burr, Mary (Twisted Sisters) Fleener and several others. Among the classic songs adapted are "Truckin'," "Casey Jones," Tennessee Jed," "Sugaree," "One More Saturday Night," "Jack Straw," "Mexicali Blues" and many others. Jerry Garcia also wrote the introduction, talking about how much he loved comic books (the first expensive investment he made when the band first became successful was a complete set of 1950's E.C. comics.) You may have or have seen a trade paperback edition of this which Kitchen Sink licensed to Hyperion Books, but it cannot compare to this hardcover edition. Hardcover is bagged and will be carefully / securely packaged then shipped via USPS Priority Mail to ensure that it arrives to you perfectly and quickly. Collectible Entertainment note: Hardcover is in Very Fine + condition. Beautiful! Please See Scans!! A must have for any serious Grateful Dead and/or Jerry Garcia collector / enthusiast. A fun & entertaining read. Highly Recommended.
