About this Collection

This 1987 collection from Fantagraphics gathers the early work of a group of alternative cartoonists, presenting a satirical look at the entertainment industry through interconnected stories set in a fictionalized Hollywood. The volume showcases the raw, underground style of its creators, offering a cynical and humorous critique of fame and the film business.

In "Where Are They Now?", Kim Deitch takes a nostalgic journey through his own creative past, reflecting on the origins of his work with a mix of personal memory and early artwork. Featuring sketches, discarded panels, and glimpses of forgotten iterations, the story offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of his characters, all drawn and written by Deitch himself. The cover, also by Deitch, captures the wistful tone of this introspective look at his artistic journey.
