Basil Wolverton #[nn]

A 1980 comic from Futuropolis, this issue is a singular showcase of Basil Wolverton’s singular vision—his self-written, self-illustrated, and self-inked artwork brings to life a gallery of grotesquely exaggerated men and women, their faces twisted by life’s hardships in a tone that’s equal parts satire and surreal comedy. The cover, also by Wolverton, matches the interior’s wild, exaggerated style, capturing the same burlesque spirit in bold, chaotic lines.
