The Book of Weirdo by Jon B Cooke
This is the definitive - and hugely entertaining - history of Weirdo magazine, the legendary Robert Crumb humour comics anthology from the 1980s. Weirdo took risks, broke barriers, and seriously offended the faint hearted. Ground-breaking and iconoclastic, it was an antidote to the times, a cult favourite show case for the counterculture.Jon B. Cooke is a five-time Eisner Award winner for his magazine COMIC BOOK ARTIST (for which he also received a coveted Harvey Award), as well as a documentary film writer and producer (Will Eisner: Portrait of a Sequential Artist). Cooke has interviewed hundreds of professionals, edited and created over sixty periodicals, published, edited, co-edited, and produced dozens of books, and designed uncountable other products during his 25-year career as a comics historian. In advertising and marketing, he works as an art director/graphic designer.
