Fairy Tale Library by Jan Pienkowski

Originally published in Screw Magazine, these single panels by S. Clay Wilson show him at his most dirty and disreputable. The most extreme of the Zap cartoonists of the late 1960s, Wilson draws manically dense scenes of lurid mayhem that rank among the seminal works of underground and counterculture American art. In these comics, his twisted efforts are turned to the world of sex, with results that are hilarious, freaky, wildly imaginative, and unspeakably filthy. Introduction by Terry Southern. Pocket- sized.
Jan Pienkowski has illustrated many books for children, including the hugely popular Meg and Mog books by Helen Nicoll. He has twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal, for his illustrations in Joan Aiken's THE KINGDOM UNDER THE SEA in 1972 and for HAUNTED HOUSE in 1979. Co-founder of the greeting card company Gallery Five (of which he remains a director), Jan Pienkowski has worked as an art director in advertising, publishing, and for the BBC children's television series WATCH. He lives in London.
