☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe second volume in Pure Imagination's series dedicated to the singular cartoonist Basil Wolverton, this collection continues to showcase his uniquely grotesque and meticulously detailed style. It gathers a selection of his classic humor and horror comics work, highlighting the bizarre characters and intricate linework that made him a cult favorite among fans of vintage comics and underground art.
"The Pirate City on Venus" showcases the wild, surreal energy of Basil Wolverton in full force, with the artist/writer crafting a delightfully absurd adventure where Spacehawk finds himself tangled in a bizarre mix-up involving stolen tires and a movie star. This 2004 issue from Pure Imagination, featuring all artwork by Wolverton himself, presents a gloriously over-the-top tale that’s as much a visual spectacle as it is a zany narrative, with the cover by Wolverton capturing the story’s manic charm.
