The Basil Wolverton Reader

A loving archival spotlight from Pure Imagination, The Basil Wolverton Reader (2003–present) collects the singular, grotesquely detailed cartooning of Basil Wolverton across two issues. Known for his rubbery, bug-eyed figures and densely crosshatched "spaghetti and meatballs" style, Wolverton was a cult favorite of Mad magazine and a master of the bizarre. This series gathers his lesser-seen humor strips and illustrations, preserving the work of a true original for new generations of weird-comics enthusiasts.
